Urbino12

I am a seasoned veteran with a 34+ year background in teaching and administration. I teach ENL, French and Italian Pre K-12. I am well- traveled, well read and well cultured. Currently teaching Italian grades 7-8 in a New York suburban public school with a multicultural urban population. Also teaching K-1 FLES Italian and ENL K-7 in private programs.

My approach to teaching and learning is very eclectic.I incorporate interpretative, interpersonal and presentational communicative activities in the target language in all of my lessons. My lessons are infused with culture/Culture from the target language such as music, art, literature etc. I am very hands on and like to play games as review lessons. I am an avid technology user. Adore playing Kahoot too!
