Thank you for visiting acquinterobook.com! This is a place to share resources, activities, and ideas for empowering students in their newly acquired language! I have been on this journey for a while. With approximately 17 years of teaching under my belt, I have interacted with over thousands of students, perfecting my craft. As a lifelong learner myself. I earned a Master’s in Latin American Literature and Cultures, in addition to a Master’s in Educational Leadership. I’ve worked as a moderator, school evaluator, and consulting teacher for the International Baccalaureate Program. In the last few years, I have had the good fortune to present at ACTFL and AATSP as well as local conferences. These programs and opportunities have enriched my worldview and strengthened my commitment to reaching every student. In addition to publishing over 10 comprehensible novels in Spanish, French, and German, I also enjoy working with schools to align their curriculum, and presenting on topics such as Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
