Mrs. Crisp

My name is Paula Crisp. I am from Bogotá, Colombia (South America). I started studying English as a second language when I was 17 years old on my own, since I love languages. My desire to become a teacher inspired me to achieve my goals. Years later, I graduated at the age of 26. I got a Bachelor of Arts in education, with an emphasis on humanities - English Program.

Having the opportunity to work with children and teenagers as an ESL teacher has been awesome. I am grateful when I see my students dreaming and reaching new goals. I am grateful when I can influence and inspire my students, as I was inspired by some of my teachers to be part of the education of others. We as teachers are responsible for promoting successful, happy and valued beings. This is the best way to contribute to our society. I'm here to help our Halifax county Schools' Multilingual learners.

Tools to teach our Multilingual Learners

  • WIDA English Language Development Standards Framework, 2020 Edition Kindergarten—Grade 12

    Welcome to the WIDA English Language
    Development Standards Framework, 2020 Edition
    WIDA has historically grounded its work in language development standards as a driver of equity for
    multilingual learners in curriculum, instruction, and assessment. This new edition reflects a continued
    commitment to these goals.
    Starting in 2004, all editions of the WIDA English Language Development (ELD) Standards have
    reflected the belief that multilingual learners are best served when they learn content and language
    together in linguistically and culturally sustaining ways. The 2020 Edition recommits to this belief
    by maintaining the five original WIDA ELD Standards Statements while adding new and expanded
    resources to address updates in policy, theory, and practice
