Allora Montalvo

Dedicated special education teacher with six years of professional experience and hands-on classroom experience supporting instruction, IEP implementation, and student engagement in both special and general education. I bring a strong background in communication, conflict resolution, and relationship-building, along with a deep commitment to supporting literacy development and creating inclusive, well-managed classrooms. Currently working as a Self-Contained Elementary Special Education Teacher, enrolled in Western Kentucky University's Master's of Special Education.

I have experience assisting with small group instruction, implementing behavior support strategies, and maintaining positive communication with parents and guardians. Frequently praised for my reliability, strong work ethic, and collaborative spirit, I am eager to contribute to your community and help young children with special needs thrive both academically and socially.
