Mary+Helen+Tafoya

My name is Mary Helen Tafoya. I am married, have 4 children, one granddaughter and grandson. I enjoy spending time with family, volunteering, and relaxing, if there is time.

I received a nursing certificate from Albuquerque Technical Vocational Institute. Then, transferred to the University of New Mexico and received an associate’s degree in business, a bachelor’s degree in education, and am currently working towards receiving a master’s degree in math, science and educational technology (MSET).

I began teaching for the Belen Consolidated School district in January 2009. I was an educational assistant for 6 years and before that, I volunteered at various school sites for 10 years. All my experience has been at different schools within the Belen Consolidated School District in grades K-6. I currently hold a Level I license with the state of New Mexico. I have taught in classrooms where there is a range of student abilities. Since the 2009-2010 school year I have taught 1st grade curriculum to all the students and modified assignments depending on the needs of each individual student.
