Celena Dangler-Larkey is a Senior Lead Staff Developer at TCRWP. She can usually be found inside a classroom—listening to, talking with, or laughing alongside students about their latest piece of writing or new favorite book. A graduate of Trine University and Indiana University, Celena holds a Masters degree as a Literacy Specialist and in Educational Leadership. She leads large-group and advanced sections at the TCRWP Reading and Writing Summer Institutes as well as at the Coaching and Content Area Institutes. She is a speaker at national conferences and delivers keynotes to primary teachers, and her work has taken her across the United States and around the world. When not in schools, Celena spends time with her (grown) son Gabe, husband Jason, and their three dogs. She is currently hard at work on her first novel.
