The teachers of the World Language department at RHS pride themselves in working closely to help students succeed and thrive in their classes. It is through to this collaboration, that grading policies, assignments and projects are built to ensure the curriculum meets state standards and uphold the school's P.A.C.K culture.
Interesting facts about the department:
More than half of the teachers have their Master Degree in Spanish or in Education.
Teaching experience varies from 3 to 27 years in the classroom; this makes the collaboration process vital for everyone in the department; veteran teachers keep abreast of new pedagogical strategies and newer teachers learn true and tested practices as well.
Teachers work closely to develop rigorous and equitable activities of high quality for every student in the classroom to create a vertical and lateral alignment with mirror like activities in every level. As a result of this collaborative effort, if a student has a schedule change, the student will receive the same expectations and rigor regardless of their new teacher.

Hola, my name is Señorita García. I have been teaching at Ridgeview for three years. It has been a great experience joining the WOLFPACK family and working with my colleagues in the World Language department. I obtained my teaching credentials through the Kern High Teacher Residency Program, in addition, I also hold a B.A and M.A in Spanish.
For the current school year I am teaching Spanish CP 1 & 2. I enjoy creating an engaging classroom environment where students can develop their language skills and build a strong foundation in the Spanish language. Also, I am very passionate to help students explore the Hispanic culture using a variety of activities that involve music, fun facts, traditions and authentic cultural experiences.
During my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, walking my dog, and doing outdoor activities.
Hola a todos! = Hello everyone!
I'm Señora Garnsey - I've been teaching Spanish for 24 years, and 8 of them have been at RHS - go WOLFPACK! This year I am teaching Spanish 2 CP & Spanish 3.
I love teaching. Every year is different, and that keeps me motivated to stay abreast of new techniques and technologies to remain relevant with the new generation of students. Some things my students can expect in my classroom: high interaction in Spanish - since it's the foundation of this class, projects and presentations among other activities. They will also be listening to Spanish music as they trickle into the class and as they're working individually.
I believe respect is very important and fosters great working relationships, so it is always in the forefront of my teaching and student interactions.
I'm a CSUB alumni where I obtained my B.A., teaching certification, and my M.A. in Spanish.
I enjoy spending time with family, listening to music, outdoor activities and traveling.

In addition to teaching Spanish, I like to share experiences, and life lessons with my students. I'm married and I have two kids in High School. I'm a licensed barber and have been for 29 years. I still enjoy cutting hair during summer break.
In my free time I like to go on trips with my family and watch Football and Baseball. Go Niners, Go Dodgers!!
