Welcome to a new school year filled with exploration, discovery, and amazement of the world that surrounds us!
My name is Christina Agurcia, and I am originally from Illinois. I graduated from Lincoln Christian College with a BS in Bible and from Illinois State University with a BS in Biology. I am certified by the State of Illinois to teach a wide range of science subjects, including biology, chemistry, and physics. As well, I have taken graduate education courses in zoology, botany, chemistry, and physics. To continue gaining knowledge about pedagogical technique, I also have participated in teacher workshop events, such as the ones offered by Discovery School and Escuela International Sampedrana in San Pedro Sula, and most recently, an AP environmental science training at Conserve School in northern Wisconsin.
This will be my ninth year in the teaching profession and my fifth year as the eighth through twelfth grade science teacher at Discovery School. Previously, I taught one year at a private school here in Tegucigalpa and three years at a public school in the States.
I am looking forward to developing an excellent working relationship with you. Outside of school, the best way to contact me is through email. My email address is cagurcia@discoveryschool.edu.hn. If you would like to meet with me outside of class, I would be happy to schedule an appointment with you. Most days, I am available between 7:30-8:00 am, at break, at lunch, and 3:00-3:30 pm. If you have any concerns or do not understand a topic, please see me.
This year, you will have online access to your grades through the website Engrade. Your individual, privately secured login will be given to you in class. You are encouraged to check your grade frequently to map your process in class and keep track of any missing work.
Looking forward to a great year!
Sincerely, Mrs. Agurcia
