Welcome to Nancy Garcia's Home
Page!
Hello! My name is Nancy M. Garcia, senior bilingual tutor
at Willow Crest School in Anchorage, Alaska. I speak four languages,
which include English, Pilipino, Itawis and Ilocano. I work with
bilingual students from kindergarten to sixth grade. As a bilingual
tutor I help identify the language proficiencies of students.
I also assist in the oral language development and the reading
and writing program of LEP ( Limited English Proficient) students
both in English and in the primary language. In addition to these,
I collaborate with the classroom teacher in determining the needs
of referred students and develop a plan to meet applicable goals
for the students.
To encourage an awareness and sensitivity to diverse cultures
for all students and staff, I conduct and organize multicultural
activities such as, the Filipino Folk Dancing Group and cultural
presentations. These activities build students' pride in their
culture and enhance students' self-esteem
