About Jess Carroll

As an ELA Instructional Coach in an urban charter school, I am driven by a passion for empowering students and supporting educators in their quest for educational excellence. With a strong background in curriculum development, literacy programs, professional development facilitation, and assessment coordination, I bring a wealth of expertise to my role. I firmly believe in the transformative power of education and the importance of fostering a love for reading, writing, and critical thinking in every student. By implementing innovative and culturally responsive instructional strategies, I strive to create engaging learning environments that meet the diverse needs of urban learners. In my career, I have had the privilege of collaborating with talented educators and school leaders to design and implement rigorous ELA curriculum that aligns with state standards and promotes student achievement. I am adept at leveraging data to inform instructional decisions and support targeted interventions that drive growth and close achievement gaps. One of my greatest strengths lies in leading impactful professional development sessions that inspire teachers to embrace best practices and continually refine their instructional approaches. I facilitate dynamic workshops that provide practical strategies, resources, and ongoing support, fostering a collaborative and reflective professional learning community. As an assessment coordinator, I ensure the effective implementation of formative and summative assessments to monitor student progress and inform instruction. I strive to create assessment practices that are fair, valid, and aligned with instructional goals, while also fostering a growth mindset and supporting students in their academic journey. Outside the classroom, I am actively involved in helping educators build strong relationships with students, families, and the broader community. I believe that a collaborative and inclusive approach is crucial in creating a positive and supportive school culture that celebrates diversity and promotes student success. I am excited to connect with fellow educators, administrators, and education enthusiasts who share a commitment to educational equity and urban education excellence.
