Hello, my name is Elizabeth Valencia.
My passion for teaching has always been a part of me through my education, family values, nurturing personality, and discipline. When I started working in Chicago Public Schools in 2016, I realized my strong initiative and exceptional learning, teaching, and organizational skills belonged in a classroom environment. While working within Chicago Public Schools, I have experienced roles such as college tutor and special education classroom assistant. I want to create a classroom environment that gives students the opportunity to glow and grow.
With a degree in Elementary Education and endorsements in English as a Second Language and Bilingual Education from Trinity Christian College, I have a strong vision and experience of what it takes to build leadership, communication, and success inside and outside the classroom. As an educator, I want to help students build their confidence to achieve their goals and celebrate their accomplishments!
