With experience as an English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) teacher and fluent in Spanish and French, she is excited to be back to working with English learners.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe fact that I work with English learners now and teachers of English learners is just perfect because that was really my area of expertise as a teacher and as an administrator,\u201d said Campiglia.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Campiglia graduated from Lake Braddock Secondary School, and got her undergraduate degree in Foreign Affairs and French at the University of Virginia (UVA). After getting a fellowship and completing her Masters degree in Education at George Washington University, Campiglia went back to UVA for an Education Specialist degree.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThen three years later I got this crazy idea that it was time I wanted to do a doctorate,\u201d she said, \u201cSo I just finished my doctorate at UVA [\u2026] in December of 2020.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Campiglia\u2019s dissertation was based on how high school principals can help Central American males feel connected to the school.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA lot of those students that we serve here in the international academy often leave before they graduate,\u201d said Campiglia, \u201cSo my research was around what schools can do to keep these men in school and help them feel a sense of belonging so that they stay until graduation.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Campiglia\u2019s experience and knowledge with English learners are a great fit for her current position. \u201cThat was another reason that working in the international academy was so perfect for me because it really aligned with the research I had done for my dissertation,\u201d she said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, Campiglia\u2019s dream is to become a principal in a high school. Although Alexandria City is a larger school, she prefers a small to medium-sized school. \u201cAlexandria City High School for me is a really large school, however, I&#8217;m happy here because it\u2019s a school within a school,\u201d said Campiglia.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even when she retires, Campiglia has grand plans after her career. \u201cI do wonder about how I might continue my passion of working with multilingual learners. Once I retire, my dream is to join the Peace Corps, and maybe go back to teaching that way.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Michelle Campiglia, previously an administrator at Fairfax County Public Schools, is working her first year as an administrator in the International Academy.
