Melissa Moreno
Student Researcher
Western Washington University
Bilingual preservice teacher pursuing a bachelor's in early childhood education with an endorsement in multilingual education. 4 years of experience of working as a paraeducator at an elementary school. My teaching philosophy is grounded in equity, relationship, and culturally responsive pedagogy. I believe that learning is most powerful when it is connected to students’ lives, identities, and communities. My goal as an educator is to create a space where all students feel seen, supported, and empowered to succeed. I want to nurture kind, critical thinkers who can navigate and contribute to a diverse world.
