NEW TEACHERS OF OHS!!!

An chat with Senorita Figueroa

By Laneisha Jackson

 

       Have you ever wondered about the new teachers of OHS? As student’s we expect to receive different teaching methods that helps different students to learn. Students expect their teachers’ to give them new study techniques and teach them how to apply these techniques. This is what we look for as students. This is what we expect.

       In a recent interview with the new OHS Spanish teacher Senorita Figueroa, who joined staff Aug. 4, 2009, this issue was addressed. Many of you have probably seen her on campus. She has been substituting all over Cobb County for quite some time now. She now is a teacher of Spanish her at OHS. Her room is located on the Spanish all in Room 112.

       She came to the United States a few years ago for a new start. Senorita Figueroa was born and raised in Honduras, she taught there for 15 years.  The Honduran native says she has had a passion for teaching since High School. She said her parents inspired her to teach as a child. Now, after years of substituting her dream of teaching as a successful Spanish teacher has come true.

       To become a teacher you have to go to school for many years. It takes extensive training, patience and a Bachelor’s Degree in teaching in your field. Figueroa, not only has these, but is a nice individual. She has helped many children, like me, become better at speaking Spanish through her kind disposition.

      Many other students and I, who are taking Spanish II are looking forward to learning her new Spanish curriculum and the pleasant atmosphere she establishes.
