Teacher. Poet. Author.

Angela Shanté is an elementary education teacher, writer, and poet. Angela grew up in New York City where she fell in love with words and teaching. She received a Master’s in Elementary Education with a focus on literacy and later went back to school to receive an MFA in Creative Writing. As a teacher, she fills her classroom with literature and games. As you can imagine it is occasionally noisy. Angela always knew two things: (1) she loved teaching students to read and write, and (2) she wanted to write stories that children would love to read and would inspire them to write.
