The English as a Second Language Program at New Frontiers Charter School works with all students identified as English Language Learners.
The objective of the program is to insure that our ELLs acquire proficiency in the English language at the same time that they are receiving content-based instruction. We coordinate with all general education classroom teachers and are in constant dialogue regarding student well-being and academic performance.
We recommend appropriate teaching strategies as well as facilitate small group instruction based on individual student needs and language proficiencies.

This is my 3rd year at NFCS teaching both 3rd grade and 4th
grade. However, this year, I am an ESL teacher. I assist
Ms. Trevino in Kindergarten, Ms. Palomino in 1st grade and Mrs. Hunter
in 2nd grade. I assist students in the classroom and with
small group tutoring. I integrate teacher's lessons so that it is
mirrored and students can be successful.
In case you wanted to know about me
personally, I am from San Antonio. I graduated from MacArthur High School,
went on to San Antonio College, Our Lady of the Lake University, then
Georgetown University in Washington D.C. where I earned my Master's Degree in
Public Policy. I have worked in Maryland, Virginia, and in Washington. While I loved living in
beautiful Virginia for 4 years, I missed San Antonio and all my family and friends. I have 3 adorable children ages 10, 7
and 2. My favorite sport is basketball. Go Spurs
Go!!!!!!
