Rachel Lugo

Welcome! My name is Rachel Lugo, and I am an international educational consultant dedicated to transforming K-12 education through innovative and research-driven practices. With two master's degrees — one in World Politics and another in Curriculum and Instruction focusing on teaching culturally and linguistically diverse and exceptional learners — I bring a rich and interdisciplinary perspective to my work. I am also a certified Concept-Based and Inquiry Coach, with a passion for empowering educators to create student-centered learning environments that promote critical thinking and ethical decision-making.

Currently, I am pursuing a PhD in Technology and Learning Design, where my research focuses on integrating artificial intelligence in K-12 classrooms to enhance learning experiences while fostering ethical awareness and critical thinking skills. I am actively conducting research in various educational settings, continuously seeking to understand how AI can be thoughtfully and responsibly integrated into teaching and learning processes.

Throughout my career, I have published articles and presented at conferences, contributing to the broader discourse on education, AI, and innovative pedagogical approaches. This website serves as a space for me to share my blog posts, document my PhD journey, and provide resources and insights for fellow educators, researchers, and institutions interested in leveraging AI and inquiry-based methodologies for impactful learning.

I am excited to collaborate with schools, organizations, and educators worldwide. If you are interested in consulting or learning more about my work, please feel free to reach out. Let's work together to shape the future of education.
