What do you do?
I teach at the kindergarten in Rivera and at the Department of Education and Learning/University of Teacher Education (DFA/ASP) as a professional teacher.
Why did you choose to become a teacher?
I believe that the first years of life are crucial for the cognitive, emotional and social development of children. I want to contribute to their formation and growth by offering them a stimulating, welcoming and safe environment in which they can freely express themselves, learn and discover the world around them.
Challenges and satisfactions of your profession?
Being a primary school teacher means facing new challenges every day and enjoying great satisfaction in seeing children grow, learn and develop their potential.
Of the things you learnt at DFA/ASP, which is most useful to you in the classroom?
A scuola ho imparato che la collaborazione è fondamentale per essere un buon docente e grazie ai legami che ho creato, ho potuto instaurare collaborazioni significative.
