Busy Eduprofessionals with Chappel Billings

Dr. Takesha Winn joins us for a candid chat about managing it all as an eduprofessional. Dr. Takesha Winn, a first-generation college student and a Dallas ISD Alum, began her 14-year career in education as a teacher in Dallas ISD at Justin F. Kimball High School. Her passion for ensuring that ALL students have access to a teacher who is knowledgeable, compassionate, culturally responsive, and able to engage students in rigorous content lead her to pursue a master's degree in Education Administration and seek career roles focused on improving teacher practice. She has presented best practices about improving teacher and administrator practice at ASCD, Texas Association of Secondary School Principals, and The New Teacher Center. Dr. Winn recently defended her doctoral dissertation, "Culturally Relevant Recruitment and Hiring in an Urban District," which she plans to turn into a book for district and principal practitioners.
