First Annual Conference on Teaching Diverse Learners

  • Odette Piñeiro

    Dr. Odette Piñeiro Caballero has been the The Education Alliance’s State
    Liaison to Puerto Rico since 1996. In that position she has managed several
    research and development projects in Puerto Rico, including a study of the changing
    role of school directors occasioned by Puerto Rico’s 1994 law that switched
    all of the island’s schools to a site-based management model. Since 1998,
    she has coordinated the LAB’s technical support offered to the Puerto Rico
    Department of Education for the implementation of the federal Comprehensive
    School Reform Demonstration project (CSRD). Complementing her 80% position at
    Brown, she has been very active in a community connected learning partnership
    in a rural part of Puerto Rico and, for six months, she was the Director of
    Professional Development for the most dominant CSRD model currently being implemented
    in Puerto Rico. Prior to working for Brown she was Senior Diversity Planning
    Analyst and, later, Director of the first College Assistance Migrant Program
    (CAMP) at Pennsylvania State University. For CAMP, she designed and implemented
    collaborative leadership processes in and outside the institution to enable
    youth from migrant and seasonal farm worker backgrounds (Mexican, Dominican,
    Vietnamese, Cambodian, and Laotian) to have the opportunity to pursue a four-year
    college education. Her professional career has focused on creating bridges to
    insure ELL youth have equal access and participation to high quality teaching
    and learning environments. She earned her Ph.D. at Pennsylvania State University.
