NOEMI RODRIGUEZ

Sra. Rodriguez began her career in 1966 as a Kindergarten teacher – her childhood dream – in Buenos Aires, Argentina and quickly gained the attention of the system’s administration with her exceptional results. Sra. Rodriguez developed an innovate approach to early childhood education synthesizing the methods of Maria Montessori and the theory of Jean Piaget. She was asked to develop Kindergarten curriculum for the Buenos Aires public system.

In 1987, Sr. Rodriguez immigrated to the US and began training with the Berlitz School of Languages to teach Spanish to Cleveland’s international business community. During the next 15 years, she became one of the most sought after Spanish tutors in Greater Cleveland for adults and children.

In 2004, Sra. Rodriguez started teaching Spanish at Birchwood School in grades 1-8. When the school decided to start a Kindergarten class in 2009 that emphasized Spanish language instruction, Sra. Rodriguez was the perfect choice. Under her vision, expertise, and hard work, Birchwood’s first kindergarten class was an exceptional success. The school is honored to have her on staff.
