Victoria Weiss

Victoria serves as Senior Director at Californians Together, where she champions access and equity in education. She believes firmly that all children can learn and thrive when given the right tools, motivation, and a nurturing environment that encourages exploration and builds confidence. Central to this vision is her commitment to strategic professional development—Victoria works to deepen educators’ knowledge and effectiveness, equipping them to create inclusive, engaging learning experiences that resonate with diverse student populations and translate into meaningful classroom instruction. Literacy sits at the heart of her approach to education: she believes teachers should not only teach reading but model it themselves, using the practice to sharpen their own critical thinking and creativity. By embodying these habits, educators inspire students to collaborate more effectively and engage more deeply with their own learning. For Victoria, cultivating a culture of literacy is essential to shaping thoughtful, innovative, and collaborative members of society.
