Norma Frausto de Castro has more than thirty years of experience as a teacher, and is currently a Pequeños teacher at El Jardin, where she has remained for the last 4 years. Mrs. Castro was born in Aguascalientes City, Mexico. In her hometown, she studied to become an elementary school teacher, later going on to graduate as a lawyer with a College Degree. She has since then practiced several teaching positions at the local, state, and federal level. These teaching experiences throughout her career have ranged from working with adults to children, and from larger groups to one-on-one tutoring. Her career began in Mexico, throughout which she attended teaching training seminars, teacher workshops, and yearly state courses which updated all teachers with newer techniques and material. Years after she married and had her three sons, she immigrated with them to CA where she then began to work for the S.B. School District as a teacher’s aid at Cesar Chavez School. In her time there, she taught Spanish and helped teachers in several K-6 courses until she moved departments and became an art assistant. In 2020, she began to teach at El Jardin and has loved teaching pequeños. She cares about the students, not only academically but their concerns and feelings. Even as a child she has dreamed of being a teacher to kids and helping them find their true potential, teaching to her is something she would not change for any other career in the world as it is her passion.
