Social Chats: Shaping Minds & Brands Ep #26 with Dr. Laura Castro
On this episode of Social Chats, we will be speaking with a dedicated educator from the Coachella Valley who has spent over a decade transforming classrooms and supporting teachers. She also happens to be one of my closest friends. Meet Dr. Laura Castro, who comes from a family of educators and began her teaching career in 2012.
Currently, Dr. Castro teaches middle school students in Southern California. In Dr. Castro’s classroom, she focuses on creating engaging lessons that build critical thinking and help students see themselves in the curriculum. Beyond teaching, Dr. Castro serves as a PBIS Coach, mentors new teachers, and works to build a positive school culture. She recently completed her Doctorate in Educational Leadership from CSU Fullerton, with research focused on how professional development can boost teacher confidence in writing instruction.
Dr. Castro’s core belief is simple: when teachers feel supported and confident, students thrive. She’s passionate about creating inclusive learning environments where every student feels valued and every teacher feels empowered to do their best work.
