About
Me
Kindergarten Teacher
Talking about oneself is the most complex note to write, much more so in an environment like this. If something characterizes me, I have always avoided exalting my own merits or values over others because I consider it a lack of bother. That is how I was trained and grew up. During this learning adventure, I understood, with the tools that I appropriated, that self-assessment and reflection are powerful tools that can significantly contribute to developing skills and growth as an individual. I believe this is a revolution in education, as it shifts the focus from previous to new educational approaches.
Honesty is a trait that defines me. It is often misunderstood but always applauded by those who truly know me. I am a person of passion and energy, and I firmly believe that success is not a matter of luck but a product of hard work and dedication. I am proud to call Houston, Texas, my home, where my husband and I have built a beautiful family. Our family, our HOME, is a source of immense joy and pride for me.
I am a graduate of the University of Guantánamo, Cuba, with a degree in sociocultural studies. I worked at the University as a career professor for nine years. Something I enjoy doing is being in the kindergarten classroom. Helping them grow academically and socially fills my heart with great joy.
I could say that it has been one of the blessings that the United States gave me. I have lived in Texas since 2017, where I have worked in the Klein ISD district for almost four years. I have high expectations for this course. We all know that technology is part of our daily lives, and knowing the advantages and disadvantages it brings us would be an opportunity to be better prepared to face the challenges of this and future generations.
Some elements of my training as a professional have influenced my proximity to the topic of teaching and learning. Although I did not study pedagogy, I had the opportunity to work as a professor in the Sociocultural Studies program at the University of my hometown. There, I had some insights into teaching methods, such as the theory of Latin American psychologist David Ausubel, which maintains that learning is more effective when new knowledge is significantly related to the student's existing cognitive structure. Through teaching practice, you can experience some pedagogical approaches and learn from the successes and challenges in the classroom. As a teacher, I participated in continuous professional development programs such as workshops, conferences, and online courses to expand and deepen my understanding of the teaching and learning process.
Today, we are witnessing a technological upheaval that is reshaping various sectors, including Education. This transformation is characterized by introducing new digital tools and platforms, shifts in teaching and learning methods, and the imperative to cultivate digital skills and adaptability in students and educators alike. In this context, you may be aware of the revolutionary journey we are undertaking in Education. A journey that champions active and experiential learning, fostering the development of practical skills and critical thinking over mere memorization. In light of these unique circumstances, I am proposing the implementation of blended learning classes in my classroom. I encourage you to watch a call-to-action video that can empower you to become an innovative, creative, and contemporary teacher.
The insertion into the Digital Learning master's course has exacerbated the desire to search for and update educational trends and best practices in education in the 21st century. Despite these approaches, we consider that more is needed. Education is constantly evolving, so working on professional development and improving pedagogical skills is essential. The teacher must reflect on his or her teaching practices, collect data on student progress and achievement, and use that information to adjust and improve his or her teaching approach. In this way, professional development and pedagogical skills will be continually improved. Technology has transformed the way we access information, communicate, and learn. Technology integration in the classroom has opened new opportunities for interactive learning, personalization of learning, and access to global educational resources.
