Valerie Lewis

Valerie Lewis is dedicated to the transformation of learning through engaging and creative
activities for ALL students. Today’s classroom has not varied much from classrooms 100 years
ago--- that is problematic! We are still behind many other countries and we should be leading the
way.
She grew up in Miami, FL and graduated with a Bachelor’s in Elementary Education from
Oakwood University and a Master’s in Special Education from Howard University. She
currently resides and teaches High School Language Arts in Georgia. She is a wife and mother of
3 beautiful souls.
Her belief is that critical learning possibilities should be activated in order to prepare students for
NOW skills. This will enable them to compete on a global scale! Students need to lift their voice
and advocate for themselves but this skill should be modeled and taught. Lessons should be
student-centered and not mainly based upon the teacher’s interests.
