Jorge embarked on his teaching journey in 2002 at Glenbrook South High School in Glenview, IL, a suburb of Chicago, where he has dedicated his career. His expertise spans across various levels of Spanish education, from introductory to AP courses. For the past 17 years, Jorge has been instrumental in instructing AP Language and Culture, concurrently participating as an AP Reader since 2016. His roles as a Reader, Table Leader, and more recently as a Question Leader have contributed significantly to the selection of benchmarks, sample assessments, and leadership tasks during the Reading.
Extending his influence beyond the classroom, Jorge is an accomplished presenter at local, national, and international forums, focusing on the pedagogy of AP Spanish and leveraging technology within World Language instruction. His contributions to Spanish textbooks and related publications reflect his commitment to educational advancement. Jorge earned a bachelor’s degree in Spanish Language and Literature from Northern Illinois University and furthered his academic pursuits with a master’s degree in educational technology from Concordia University in Chicago.
Outside the academic sphere, Jorge devotes his time as a soccer coach for both boys’ and girls’ teams, having also coached volleyball and track and field. He finds solace in reading books in both Spanish and English, staying active through workouts, indulging in video games, and cherishing moments with his family.
