About Me

Esmeralda Salgado: I am an Advanced Skills Teacher (AST), Lead Practitioner for Insignis Trust, Head of MFL and School Digital Lead at Princes Risborough School. I have taught languages for over 20 years from KS2 to KS5 in different school settings: in state and independent schools. My GCSE and ALevel results are excellent with a 100% success pass grade (9-4) at GCSE in the summer 2022 and 56% 9 to 8 grades. I am passionate about the use of digital tools and collaborative projects among schools, and have extensive experience in using eTwinning and Erasmus projects as tools to enhance the teaching and learning experience in the MFL classroom. I am proud to have won a Silver Pearson's National Teaching Award under the category of Secondary School teacher of the year in 2022 and have collaborated to write the latest Language Gym Book: Spanish Verb Pivots with GianFranco Conti. Finally, I am a writer and blogger who loves learning from others and sharing good practice!
