Manissa Kouyate | Dedicated Educator | Advocate for Student Growth & Collaboration
Grade 2 Team Leader
With ten years of experience teaching the American curriculum as a lead teacher, I am passionate about creating meaningful connections with my students and building a classroom culture rooted in curiosity, imagination, and academic rigor. I believe in pushing scholars to think critically and creatively, while fostering a learning environment where every student feels seen, valued, and inspired to grow.
I hold a master’s degree in special education and general education in Early Childhood, which has equipped me with a deep understanding of child development and the diverse ways children learn. This foundation allows me to meet students where they are, support their individual growth, and design learning experiences that are both responsive and engaging.
In addition to my work in the classroom, I am deeply committed to supporting fellow educators through collaboration, sharing strategies, and contributing to a reflective and dynamic learning community.
As both a teacher and a leader, I bring dedication, vision, and a strong belief in the power of relationships – because when students and teachers thrive together, learning comes alive.
