Angela Callado Kiley
RIDES Fellow
Angela Kiley's commitment to diversity, equity, and integration is rooted in her belief that through equity-centered schools our students can work towards their liberation. She currently serves as an independent consultant and provides strategic support in talent; diversity, equity, and inclusion; and family engagement to non-profits and school networks. She previously served as the Director of External Relations for Brooke Charter Schools. In her role, she managed the communications, external affairs and community engagement strategy for the network of four schools. Before transitioning to her position at Brooke, she worked in the Receiver's Office for Lawrence Public Schools as the Director of Strategic Partnerships. There, she developed the district's relationships with local and national stakeholders, including business, governmental, non-profit, community-based and philanthropic groups. Prior to joining LPS, Angela was a staff member with Teach For America where she served as the Director of Diversity Initiatives. As part of her work she designed and led identity development and leadership programming to support firstgeneration college students of color across New England and the Mid-Atlantic. Angela looks forward to leveraging her equity-based experiences in the RIDES Fellowship to support educators in moving from self-transformation to leading systemic transformation. Angela received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Pennsylvania in Political Science and Hispanic Studies and is a current student in the Education, Policy and Management program at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.
