Paula Verplancke joins the CTHS staff with years of teaching experience. Her background includes K-12 education as well as adult education. Originally from El Salvador, Mrs. Verplancke has lived in various places in Europe, Latin America and the United States.
Paula is currently teaching Spanish, Psychology and Personal Finance at CTHS. Her teaching philosophy is based on the idea that it is her job to awaken and encourage students to learn. She strongly believes in actively involving students in the learning process through active participation in group activities, exploration and discovery, and meaningful presentations. According to Mrs. Verplancke our society has experienced many changes in the past fifty years. The need to become culturally aware has increased as we share goals, expectations, and dreams with people from other countries. She encourages her students to learn Spanish as well as other languages. Students in her class can expect various cultural learning experiences!
