I have not taught a class on campus since March 2020. (I don’t think I need to remind you all what was going on in the world then.) That is set to change in roughly four weeks.
I recently agreed to teach two senior writing classes (one prep) at a private, bilingual school not far from where I live. I’m excited about the opportunity for a variety of reasons, but, in particular, it will be nice to feel a little more involved in the Salvadoran community. (Working from home and not being fluent in Spanish, I often feel removed from it.) The part-time job, of course, also complements my writing and editing work.
I learned a lot teaching at UNLV and, especially, Escuela Americana, and I am looking forward to putting that experience to use.
