Robyn R. Jackson, PhD, has been an educator for more than a decade. As a National Board Certified English teacher, she increased the enrollment of minority and nontraditional students in her AP Language and Composition classes and tripled her overall course enrollment within one year without a decrease in her students' test scores. As a middle school administrator in Montgomery County, Maryland, she has worked to revise the district's Gifted and Talented policy to be more inclusive of all students and helped craft the district's critical Middle School Reform Plan. She also helped lead the largest middle school in the district to state and national Blue Ribbon status. As an educator, she has served as an adjunct professor and presents her own research at several national conferences.

Because of her practical approach to instruction, Dr. Jackson has become a nationally recognized presenter and consultant who has been featured in The Washington Post, a PBS/Annenberg television series, and Lifetime Television's Lifetime Live. She works regularly with schools throughout the United States, helping them build their capacity to meet the diverse needs of their students and to remove the institutional barriers to student success. Most recently, she has worked with schools and school districts in the District of Columbia, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Ohio, Texas, Virginia, and Wisconsin, as well as several nonprofits on everything from improving the planning and delivery of instruction to developing the leadership capacity of school leadership teams. Recently, Dr. Jackson was named a senior fellow with the Phelps Stokes Fund to research ways to improve teacher preparation.

Dr. Jackson is also the author of The Differentiation Workbook: A Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Lessons That Appropriately Challenge All Students and The Instructional Leader's Guide to Strategic Conversations with Teachers. You can reach Dr. Jackson at rjackson@masterteachermindset.com.
