你的教学理念是什么?

我对生活目的的基本信念是快乐。既然教育的目的是让学生为成功的生活做好准备，那么重要的是要记住，人们潜意识地把成功与幸福等同起来。在我们的文化中，成功通常以事业成就或金钱收益来衡量。然而，成功实际上是一个人对他/她的成就有多高兴，这可能与职业或收入有关，也可能与之无关。一个人的幸福可能基于名誉、财富、权力、事业成就、个人成就、爱情、家庭、友谊等等。那些把财富看得比其他一切都重要的人，如果他们成功地积累了金钱，他们会很高兴。把家庭看得比其他一切都重要的人，如果他们在家里和大家庭成员有亲密的关系，他们会很开心。教学之所以吸引我，是因为我的目的是:教学生如何辨别什么能让他们快乐，如何成为对社会有贡献的成功、快乐的人。因为每个人都有不同的价值观，所以教育必须因材施教，这样每个学生都可以追求通向幸福的独特道路。我想确保每个孩子都知道如何为自己定义成功，并意识到每个人对成功的看法都基于他们的价值观。 As a teacher of the Spanish language as well as Spanish, Hispanic, and Latino/a culture, I would have three main objectives. The most obvious is for my students to reach a level in which they are able to effectively express themselves in the target language using what they have learned. I also intend to dispel misconceptions about other cultures. This is imperative in any era, but especially now in respect to Spanish, Hispanics, and Latino/as, who are expected to comprise half of the population of the United States by the year 2050. The third objective is to help students understand why certain cultures are the way they are today by teaching them about past events (i.e., Brazil doesn't speak Spanish due to the Treaty of Tordesillas). Knowledge is not power; the application of knowledge is power. Therefore, I will focus on each student's interests so they develop ways to apply the learned material, thereby making the knowledge meaningful to them. Students will be grouped based on shared interests. Each member feels appreciated by the others for what they discuss, because the topics are relevant to all of them. Fostering confidence in these groups enables students to feel more comfortable with communicating (and inevitably making mistakes) with each other in Spanish. Problem-solving strategies are crucial in the event that a student doesn't know a word. One essential strategy is circumlocution, in which a speaker uses words in the target language to describe the term that they do not know in the target language. For this reason, I will evaluate students based on their written and oral communication to see if I am meeting my objective concerning effective expression in Spanish. As a teacher, my responsibility is to create a welcoming and safe environment. Students learn better in low-anxiety settings in which they feel a sense of belonging. They will feel more comfortable asking an approachable teacher questions, thereby receiving clarification, and allowing the teacher to identify problem areas. Students need to feel comfortable enough to speak in Spanish and make mistakes, which elicits the correction they use to learn. If teachers appear fond of their students, the students will internalize the notion that they are important and worthy of happiness. As a result, they will be motivated to perform better so that they will be prepared to succeed in their pursuit of happiness.

在典型的与学生的第一次会面中，你会怎么做?

我会从建立融洽关系开始:询问学生关于他/她自己的情况，并告诉他/她关于我自己的情况。我会询问他/她的目标，并分享我自己的目标。我会询问他们的学习方式和学业上的困难，以便计划如何满足他们的需求。

如何帮助学生成为一个独立的学习者?

我可以帮助他们确定自己的学习方式和哪种学习方法对他们最有效(例如，制作笔记卡，教别人，制作首字母缩写)。

你如何帮助学生保持积极性?

我会提醒他们自己的目标。我还会确定学生的学习风格，这样我就可以采用对他/她来说不仅有效而且有趣的活动。

如果学生在学习技能或概念方面有困难，你会怎么做?

我会把技能/概念分解成几个部分，复习相关的概念，创造记忆装置，或者教学生一种适合他/她学习风格的学习方法。

你如何帮助那些在阅读理解上有困难的学生?

我会在阅读中提出问题，引导学生注意到他们之前可能错过的要点。我也可以让学生表演阅读，从阅读中画出一个场景，或者解释为什么故事中的某些事情会发生。我可以让他们在不理解的单词下面划线，以增加词汇量。

当你开始与学生合作时，你发现什么策略是最成功的?

首先要建立融洽的关系，并确定学习方式、优点和缺点。

你如何帮助学生对他们正在努力学习的科目感到兴奋/投入?

我会问他们在这门课上想要达到什么目标，想要能够做到什么。我们可以在第一次辅导课程中确定他们能够做什么，以及我们需要做什么才能达到他们的目标。然后我们可以评估我们朝着他们的目标努力的进展情况。

你会用什么技巧来确保学生理解材料?

我可以用练习本来评估理解能力。我也可以让学生用新学的材料和我用西班牙语进行简短的对话。

如何建立学生对一门学科的信心?

我喜欢让学生口头使用西班牙语，以加强他/她个人有能力表达他/她自己并在语言中创造意义的想法。

你如何评估学生的需求?

我会问学生他/她的需求是什么。我也可能在我们的第一次会议上使用一个简短的“预测试”，或者用西班牙语与学生进行非常简单的对话来评估他们的能力。

你如何使你的辅导适应学生的需要?

我会弄清楚他们的学习方式，然后通过设计课程和活动来满足他们学习新材料的喜好(例如视觉)。

你在辅导课上通常使用什么类型的材料?

我喜欢用图片、例子，有时也用视频。
