Angela Tenette is a CORE Educational Services Consultant and a proud native-born Los Angeleno. For 40 years she worked for the Los Angeles Unified School District in roles ranging from teacher’s assistant to district literacy administrator to elementary school principal. Angela completed her undergraduate courses at California State University, Long Beach, earning a bachelor’s degree in Liberal Studies: Bilingual Spanish/English. At California State University, Dominguez Hills she completed work on multiple subjects and bilingual credentials, received her master’s degree in bilingual/cross-cultural education, and cleared her administrative credential.

Angela’s years in the classroom were spent educating students from high-risk neighborhoods. For half those years she taught in Spanish in a full bilingual program. Later as a coach, expert, and administrator of literacy, she led professional development on the science of reading, the multi-tiered system of support, the administration of literacy assessments, and culturally relevant and responsive education. Angela was also a trainer for the California Governor’s Reading Institute. She now has the opportunity to support teacher candidates in her work as a student teacher supervisor for California State University, Dominguez Hills.

Teaching children to love learning is the force that has driven Angela’s commitment to education. Through CORE, she looks forward to sharing with educators the literacy knowledge that can lead them to impart that same joy of learning to their own students.
