Angie Jackson

I've dedicated my career to education, starting as a classroom teacher for 21 years before moving into instructional leadership. My role as Dean of Instruction focuses on helping teachers better support their students through best practices, professional development, and data analysis. I work with teachers to analyze data from assessments, guide their professional learning communities, and help administrators create targeted professional development. At the high school level, I collaborate with content-area administrators to share data and develop strategies that identify which students need additional support. Beyond my campus responsibilities, I'm deeply involved in education policy advocacy as an alumni member of the Texas Teach Plus Policy Fellowship. Through this work, I've had the opportunity to testify before the Senate Education Committee to champion policy changes that benefit students across Texas. I've also worked to promote the Teacher Incentive Allotment program, which allows effective teachers to earn six-figure salaries based on student growth. Recently, I had the honor of being selected as one of only 10 finalists nationwide for the U.S. Department of Education Ambassador Fellowship, competing alongside superintendents and principals through a rigorous multi-stage application and interview process. The most rewarding part of my work is seeing teachers implement new strategies successfully and watching their students show growth as a result.
