Veronica Fiori is an educational leader, former bilingual educator, and passionate advocate for multilingual learners with twenty years of experience in second language education, literacy curriculum development, and instructional leadership. She currently serves as the Supervisor of ESL, Bilingual Education, and World Languages for Rahway Public Schools in New Jersey. Her work centers on creating systems that support both student achievement and organizational growth through collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement. Throughout her career, Veronica has served as a bilingual classroom teacher, instructional coach, parent liaison, and administrator. These diverse experiences have shaped her belief that literacy expands far beyond reading and writing. It is the foundation for communication, identity, critical thinking, and meaningful participation in society. As a native Spanish speaker, Veronica understands firsthand the power of multilingualism to connect people, strengthen communities, and enrich learning. She is specially committed to building authentic partnerships with families and believes that family engagement is essential to student success. Through family literacy initiatives and community partnerships, she strives to create meaningful opportunities for schools and families to learn from one another and work together to support multilingual learners. As a doctoral student in Language and Literacy at the University of Wisconsin- Stevens Point, Veronica hopes to continue researching the ways language and literacy can be intentionally embedded across disciplines to improve outcomes for multilingual learners. Her research interests include family literacy, organizational change, teacher professional learning, and sustainable instructional practices that empower educators to create inclusive classrooms where every student’s linguistic and cultural strengths are recognized, valued, and leveraged for success.
