My name is Ellen Castro Platt. I am in my eighteenth year teaching at Northwest High School. For the School Year 2022-2023, I will be teaching 4 Spanish 1 classes and 2 Credit Recovery classes. I received my master's degree in Education with a major in ELL K-12 from Trevecca Nazarene University (2011); a bachelor's degree in Liberal Arts with a Spanish major and an Education minor from Austin Peay State University (2005); and a bachelor's degree in Commerce with a Banking and Finance major and a General Management minor from Holy Angel University, Philippines (1976-1977). My goal for teaching Spanish is to inspire my students to love and learn the Spanish language, the people and its culture, and to develop a love for adventure and not be afraid to travel around the world. I plan to have "a Great and a Wonderful Year" for my students!
