Welcome to Mrs. Herrera’s Digital Tenure Portfolio
Intro
Welcome to my digital portfolio. Here you will find work samples and lesson plans from the two year Spanish language immersion middle school program that myself and my ex co-worker have created. The entries at the top of the stream highlight writing samples from 8th graders. All of the work shown is from students who had no prior knowledge of Spanish before studying with me and who completed these writing assignments without the use of notes, dictionaries or internet access.
About Me
My teaching is consistently rated highly effective. I am also attaching here a few emails and letters of recommendation from families. The first two are emails I received soon after my students began high school. The following three are letters that parents wrote in support of my application for tenure. Those letters are from both parents of students who excelled academically and a student with an IEP for a language processing difficulty.
