Reshara Alviarez (she/her/hers)
Reshara Alviarez holds a Master of Teaching in teaching French as a Second Language and a PhD in Languages and Literacies Education from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) at the University of Toronto. Her PhD research focused on language teaching and learning patterns in Trinidad and Tobago, exploring opportunities for promoting educational accessibility and linguistic diversity for children speaking non-standardized or migrant languages. This work involved collaborating with teachers to develop and implement inclusive classroom strategies. Reshara’s academic journey has been complemented by hands-on experience as a teacher, learning coach, and educational researcher. These roles have allowed her to bridge the gap between educational theory and classroom application, particularly in supporting diverse learners.
