Lisa Moe
Innovating Education, Removing Barriers, and Empowering Educators
I’m honored to be the 2026 Riverside County Teacher of the Year and Corona-Norco Unified School District Teacher of the Year—recognition that reflects my commitment to equity, innovation, and student-centered learning. As an award-winning educator, keynote speaker, and STEM advocate, I’m passionate about transforming classrooms into spaces where all students feel seen, valued, and empowered.
As a CSTA Equity Fellow, AI Innovator, and National Presenter, I work with educators across the country to break down barriers and reimagine what’s possible through computer science, UDL, and creative technology integration. My work is rooted in a human-centered, whole child approach—one that helps students see themselves beyond the labels and limitations placed on them. When we embrace innovation and lead with purpose, we ignite lasting change for both students and educators.
If you're looking for a speaker who leads with heart, strategy, and real classroom experience—book me to speak.
