Quick Facts about Allison Hyde:
I am currently teaching U.S. History Sheltered, U.S. History, and Spanish
I learned Spanish starting in high school and now consider myself fluent. I have spent considerable time in many parts of Latin America.
I came from Woodside High School where I was teaching U.S. and U.S. sheltered part time, and was also a Bilingual Resource Teacher/instructional coach part time.
For my first seven years of teaching, I taught in Redwood City Elementary in a bilingual middle school program for newcomers (Language Arts/Social Studies, ELD and Span-ish). One year I taught a self-contained 6th grade class in a two-way Spanish immersion program.
For the past twelve years, I have been in and out of the classroom at the high school level. I left the class-room for 3 years to work at all the Sequoia District schools as a full-time BTSA mentor/coach and lead professional development seminars on best practices for working with English Learners and effective student engagement strategies. I was also a full time, and then later on, part time, Bilingual Resource Teacher at Woodside High School.
I left my position at Woodside because I wanted to be closer to my family (we live in SF) and because I was ready for a change. I like to change things up in my professional career every so often (as you can see from my trajectory) because it keeps me refreshed and “on my toes.”
I love teaching and so far I really enjoy working with the students at Capuchino.
Personally—I have a husband and 6 year old son, and we live in SF. We have a mostly Spanish speaking household.
