Robyn Jackson

Robyn Jackson earned her Ph.D in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Maryland. In her work with teachers, administrators, schools, and non-profit organizations, Dr. Jackson focuses on key principles of education rather than isolated strategies. Dr. Jackson founded Mindsteps Inc. in 2006 to help teachers learn how to help every students meet or exceed rigorous learning standards. Her work with administrators helps them effectively train and support teachers and create highly rigorous school programs that ensure equitable access to college readiness for all students. She also works with school systems and non-profits to remove institutional barriers to equity, access, and rigor for all students, particularly students of color who are traditionally under-represented in advanced courses.

  • In this course, leaders learn to replace ineffective supervisory models with a new model of strategic conversations designed to quickly assess and understand the primary needs of staff. Dr. Jackson defines and models four conversational types with four types of teachers to demonstrate how teachers can learn to recognize the impact of their teaching behaviors on student achievement.
