Daniel R. Care Companion in Boerne, TX 78006

My name is Daniel Rodríguez. This is a little about myself: I
am Costa Rican, I studied at the National University of Costa Rica which
is one of the top universities in CR, and I specialized in teaching all levels
of education. The “humanist” approach is my preferred model of
education. This approach focuses on the comprehensive development of
students; that is why the quality of this process is decisive in how the
personal and social development of students is incorporated; it
emphasizes the progress of socio-emotional skills. This model of
education prioritizes and discovers the potential to promote the personal
identity of each student. It stresses the importance of self-awareness.
These traits allow the individual to better understand their strengths and
weaknesses. Due to my educational and professional experience, I would
like to highlight that my training was very comprehensive because I was
not only trained as a general teacher but also in special education with
an emphasis on integration; moreover, I received a master's degree in
administration of educational centers in both public and private sectors.
Every year, I get trained in subjects like reading, writing
methods, the use of English as a second language, and techniques to
work with students with behavioral problems such as autism and Down
syndrome, among other disabilities. My country may be very small, but
it is culturally diverse. I currently have 13 years of experience in public
education. When I started, I worked on the border between Costa Rica
and Nicaragua for 2 years. This experience not only made me grow
professionally but also helped me understand cultural diversity, an aspect
that enriched me greatly. I have worked in rural and urban schools in
different areas of behavioral support and intellectual disabilities. Most of
my experience has been devoted to learning difficulties, which mainly
consists in reinforcing the areas of Spanish, English, and mathematics in
the school population of all levels of elementary and High School
education.
