2009-2010 Residency Teaching at Holm Elementary, 2nd Grade
I grew up in West Texas and attended the University of Texas at El Paso where I earned my Bachelor’s of Art Degree in Criminal Justice in December, 2000. I went on to work for the U.S. Pretrial Services Office as a government contractor and then as a case manager in a Federal halfway house. After moving to Denver in 2002 I worked for Adams County School District 14 for five years, first as a Migrant Education Recruiter and then as an Adult English as a Second Language Instructor.
I chose the Denver Teacher Residency because it gave me hands-on experience in the classroom, and the opportunity to earn my Master’s degree from the University of Denver at the same time. I was impressed with the extensive support network that I received as a resident, and surprised at how progressive DPS is in implementing new ideas, like this residency.
I’m looking forward to working with families to overcome the challenge of lack of parent involvement. As I work on my teaching skills, I enjoy making a difference in the kids’ lives and watching them grow as students. Rosa trained at Archuleta Elementary.
