Vision Statement
My vision as a teacher is to foster a learning environment where students feel connected to the Spanish language and develop a passion for learning in and outside the classroom. I set high standards to push students to achieve their greatest potential and do so by providing creative, enriching, and challenging ways to access academic content. These pathways to higher learning include, but are not limited to, service learning experiences, projects, and independent cooperative studies with community partners as well as innovative classroom activities. By the end of their time in my classroom, I hope to have inspired my students to value education, celebrate diversity, and continue on a path to excellence.

About Miss Tasca
Christina Tasca is a native of Norristown, PA. As the granddaughter of a celebrated playwright, she has spent much of her life in the theatre learning every aspect from acting to set design. While still in high school, she interned with the Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival as a costuming intern. During her sophomore year at Temple University, Christina studied abroad in Mérida, México where she developed a love of Latin American culture, Spanish, and the myriad Latin American art forms. She also had the privilege of going on a human rights delegation where she served as an interpreter and worked to improve conditions for indigenous and human rights activists in post- genocide Guatemala. While living and working abroad and in Philadelphia, Christina became acutely aware of the inequalities in the education system and lack of opportunities for disadvantaged youth. Her passion for social justice has fostered a strong desire to help others through education and using the arts as a vehicle for change. She is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Education and aspires to be an excellent educator.
