IDEA Southeast

Prior to her current role with IDEA Public Schools, she worked in the field of Adult Corrections for over 5 years, before being called to move into the world of prevention and early intervention. Alethea achieved her teaching credentials in 2001. Her direct classroom experience as a teacher has spanned across elementary, secondary, traditional, and alternative schools. Her passion and ability to develop others led to her service in a number of leadership capacities – Lead Teacher, Parent Education Trainer, Campus-based Instructional Coach, District-based Instructional Coach, District-based Instructional Expert Teacher, Special Programs Support Administrator, Program Specialist, and Assistant Principal with her previous district. Alethea views students, and our work with them, as investments rather than expenses. She feels her purpose is to help all students regardless of ethnicity, language barriers, or socioeconomic backgrounds, accomplish social emotional and academic success. She is committed to a constant cycle of data analysis, purposeful planning, implementation of strategies, monitoring for success, and repeating the cycle to accomplish high achieving goals for all students.
