Argentina Campbell

Nurturing Kween

Argentina Campbell-Cintron is entering her 9th year as an English Language Arts teacher. She earned her English Education B.S. at the University at Albany and her M.A. in Adolescent Education from Hunter College. The roots of her career are firmly grounded in the Bronx, New York. Argentina has led the efforts in her school to vertically align curriculum and instructional strategies in the efforts to build cultural competence and empower both students and teachers. Leading and learning in this profession has truly motivated Argentina to work towards re-imagining and redefining education alongside fellow Kweens across the nation. When not teaching or facilitating, you can find her traversing the city with family or engaging in some revolutionary conversations around motherhood.
