Resource Teacher for Response to Intervention and Instruction

I’m Kumi Toyoda-Smart, and I’m excited to join the team as the new Resource Teacher for Response to Intervention and Instruction. With 29 years of experience in public education—as a classroom teacher, instructional coach, and administrator—I bring a deep commitment to supporting students, educators, and families in creating joyful, inclusive learning experiences.

I hold an Ed.D. in Education from the University of Southern California and have dedicated my career to equity, innovation, and student success. I’m passionate about helping every learner thrive through thoughtful, responsive teaching and strong school-family partnerships.

Go Falcons!
