Catalina Lugo-Angeles
Biography
My research interests lie in the areas of Spanish as a heritage language, bilingualism, and ethical leadership. I plan on conducting research on the variables that impact future educators' ethical leadership behaviors. I have taught several bilingual classes for educators at UHD. I believe in the power of creating a space where future educators use Spanish, their heritage language, to participate in professional conversations. I began my career in education in Mexico in 1984. I became a bilingual teacher in Aldine ISD in 2002. I have served as a dyslexia specialist, curriculum writer, and bilingual skills specialist. I was promoted to Program Director of Compliance in the same district in 2014. All these roles have helped me understand the value of bilingual educators who advocate for our emergent bilingual students.
