Chris Juerling

I am a Secondary Spanish Teacher and more.  I am passionate about students and learning.  I provide an environment where ALL students can learn and begin to acquire the Spanish language.  I use Second Language Acquisition Methods to develop skills in my class.   I make sure my curriculum is relevant and compelling to my students.  Lastly, I am a life-long learner myself.

I began teaching in 1994 in Compton, California.  I moved around a bit and took work closer to home in long Beach, then Northern California.  After getting married I moved to New Mexico and enjoyed teaching for several years.  I have taught a widely diverse group of students in a variety os schools.  I am passionate about learning and working with students to facilitate their growth as individuals and learners.

I graduated from California State University, Long Beach with a BA in Spanish Language and Linguistics.  I then attended California State University, Dominguez Hills while interning in Compton to earn my teaching Certificate.
