Kelly Rodriguez

Global Teacher

My name is Kelly Rodriguez, and I live in central Massachusetts with my husband and our dog named Gracie.   

In addition to my bachelor’s degree in English communication, I have a master’s degree in education, with a concentration in English. I am a lifelong learner, and I continue to take courses in adolescent literacy, language acquisition, and educational technology. I maintain professional teaching licenses in English and Social Sciences, as well as license endorsements in English for Speakers of Other Languages, Civics, and Gifted Education. I am certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid as well.   

In 2018, I was honored to be named the AIS Global Teacher of the Year. 

When we’re not working, my husband and I love to travel, both in the United States and abroad. We spend our summers in coastal northwest Galicia, Spain, where we have family and friends. I also enjoy cooking and baking, photography, reading, writing, and spending time with family and friends.
