Silvestre Arcos

Designer

What I work on: I partner with teams of educators to co-design learning experiences that center students. We produce high quality resources with and for teachers and instructional leaders. In my role, I consider the unique needs and desires of multilingual learners, families, and their school communities.  

 Why I work here:  The talented and passionate teams of people at Student Achievement Partners are committed to sharing educational designs that help us approach more equitable teaching and learning. I have dedicated my career to help improve outcomes for Black and multilingual students and Student Achievement Partners is absolutely the right place for me to continue that work.

 My education and experience: Prior to joining Student Achievement Partners, I worked in schools for 20 years as a teacher, instructional leader, and administrator. I hold a bachelor's degree in Human Development and Family Studies from Cornell University and completed graduate study in education from Columbia University, Relay GSE, and Harvard University.

 More about me: I currently live in New York City, but am often traveling and exploring. My passions include instructional technology, language acquisition, math education, and teaching learners with exceptionalities.
