About the Author

Alexandra Guilamo is a leading expert in the education and effective leadership of bilingual and dual-language educators and language learners. As a language learner herself, Alexandra has spent more than twenty years serving a wide range of language learners. She is a former teacher, academic coach, elementary school principal, and district-level director in highly diverse urban and suburban school districts. This range of experiences has equipped her with a unique lens that brings together a deep knowledge of second language acquisition, the guidance of evidence-based practices, and an ability to tailor supports to the distinct contexts and needs of each school she serves.

She is the founder and current chief equity and achievement officer at TaJu Educational Solutions, a company dedicated to meeting the needs of language learners while ensuring access and social justice for all students. Alexandra’s skilled, flexible, and evidence-based approach to supporting a range of educators has resulted in dramatic improvement for programs across the country. Because of this, she has now worked with school, district, regional, and state leaders and teachers in more than forty states across the United States to provide a range of professional development, job-embedded coaching, technical assistance, and program evaluation support.

Alexandra is a member of and frequently presents at the National Association for Bilingual Education (NABE), TESOL International Association, Public Policy Professional Council (PPPC), Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD), National Council of State Title III Directors, Illinois Association of Multilingual Multicultural Education (IAMME), Learning Forward, and Illinois Reading Council (IRC).
