All About Miss Kayla Dukes

Educational Technology Specialist | Consultant

I am an educational technology specialist and elementary educator with a passion for designing intentional, accessible, and future-focused learning experiences. My work lives at the intersection of pedagogy, technology, and equity, where thoughtful instruction meets strategic innovation.

With a foundation rooted in classroom practice, I bring a deep understanding of how children learn and how educators teach. I specialize in integrating technology in ways that enhance, not replace human connection, creativity, and critical thinking. Every tool I recommend and every resource I design serves a clear purpose: to support meaningful learning and sustainable systems.

My academic journey includes an Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts from Nassau Community College and a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from Morgan State University. I completed my student teaching in Howard County, Maryland, and currently teach First Grade in Malverne, New York, where I also serve as my school’s Technology Specialist, supporting educators in building confidence, clarity, and consistency in their instructional practices.

As a consultant, I approach education with precision, empathy, and respect for tradition while preparing learners and educators for what’s next. I believe excellence in education is not loud, it is intentional, well-designed, and enduring.

This space reflects my professional journey, philosophy, and the work I continue to build in service of students, educators, and learning communities.
