As
a way of life, I have served and educated children for 20 years in a collection
of roles, including, but not limited to: elementary lead teacher, assistant
principal, education director, principal, and adjunct professor. I taught
first, fourth, fifth and sixth grades at Bruce-Monroe Elementary School, a District
of Columbia Public School (DCPS), and graduate courses at American University
in the areas of Effective Pedagogy for Diverse Learners and Language Arts in
Elementary Classrooms. I taught and led
schools in Washington, DC, Brooklyn, New York and Grand Rapids, Michigan.
I
was previously the Director of Race, Gender, Education and Equity Programming
at the Mid-Atlantic Equity Center (MAEC), Principal at Children's Studio School
Public Charter School, Assistant Principal of Instruction at HYDE Leadership
Public Charter School, the Founding Principal/Chief Academic Officer of Imagine
Me Leadership Charter School for Boys, the Director of Education at the Trilok
School, the Principal of New Branches Charter Academy, and the Director of
Curriculum and Instruction at Invictus Preparatory Charter School. I currently serve schools as the Director of
School Support – Mid-Atlantic Region for Achievement Network (ANet).
I
have an unrelenting desire to continue coaching and developing teachers and
school leaders, create curriculum, data, and instructional frameworks, and
build efficient school-wide systems to improve the most persistently dangerous
and/or most impacted schools.
