Cara Bucciarelli
Spanish as a World Language Teacher
Educator
I have been teaching Spanish as a world language grades K-8 for seventeen years. Prior to teaching, I worked in education non-profits focused on educational equity and served in Americorps for one year as a coordinator for an intergenerational reading program.Ā
I am particularly interested in curriculum design that promotes inquiry, helps students discover global-local connections and fosters curiosity across disciplines.
