Spring Branch ISD
Facilitator for Advanced Academics
Houston, Texas

I taught secondary Spanish for 17 years before making the transition to the world of Advanced Academics. I am passionate about every child being able to attain a year of grow every year. We have to push students past proficiency because being proficient for our advanced learners isn't enough!
