Alexandra Lukela
Summary
I am a dedicated educator with a strong foundation in fostering effective communication and interpersonal relationships among students and teachers. I have thus far worked in grades 3 to 5. I have extensive experience working with a diverse range of learners, including Gifted and Talented (GT) students, Multilingual Learners (MLLs), students with 504 plans, and those with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs). I have the ability to collaborate effectively with colleagues and support individual student needs, enhancing both personal and team success. My experience in a predominantly Spanish-speaking environment has enriched culturally responsive teaching practices, promoting inclusivity and engagement in the classroom.
