Kali Peracchia

Kali (she/her) leads a distributive approach to building AI literacy for students, educators, leaders, and families in Denver Public Schools while also working towards a PhD in STEM Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Denver, exploring culturally and linguistically sustaining pathways for integrating AI into teaching and learning through design-based research. Kali also spent a decade teaching Social Studies, Language Arts, and GT within and around Philadelphia and Southwest Denver. This educator is a firm believer of learning at the intersections of disciplines, completing a dual B.A. in English Literature and B.A. in History at the University of Wisconsin, along with a double MS.Ed in Language Arts and Social Studies secondary instruction from the University of Pennsylvania. Aside from the nerdy stuff, Kali is proud to live in colorful Colorado, where she is a hiker, cyclist, avid reader, vinyl collector, intersectional co-conspirator, devoted partner, dog owner, and - most importantly - mom of a toddler.
