Espejo-Mancillas, María Emilia

More than 20 years ago I started my journey at PrepaTec, where I have had the opportunity to grow personally and professionally. I studied a PHD in Philosophy with orientation in Communication and Educational Innovation, and I am currently in the final phase of preparing my thesis to obtain the degree. I studied a Master in Administration of Educational Institutions and a degree in International Relations at ITESM Campus Monterrey. At PrepaTec I have had the opportunity to collaborate in different positions such as Coordinator of the International Baccalaureate, Coordinator of the Multicultural Baccalaureate, Director of the Social Sciences Department at Campus Cumbres and InterPrepas Director of the Humanities and Social Sciences area. I also had the opportunity to bring and grow the relationship between PrepaTec and two strategic partners with whom we currently collaborate: Facing History and Generation Global. With both organizations I still collaborate to strengthen relations with our Institution. I have a History and Theory of Knowledge certificate from the International Baccalaureate, an organization with which I have worked as an examiner for Paper 2 and Internal Assessment since 2010. I was recognized by Face to Faith, from the Tony Blair Foundation's with the Outstanding Teachers Award in 2014. Through my stay at Prepa Tec, I have participated in different national and international forums and conferences as a speaker as a result of my practice and investigations. I am very proud to participate in activities that give PrepaTec recognition as an academic and innovative educational leader. As a PrepaTec teacher, I feel motivated to commit to my work, my students and my colleagues.
