Ashley is committed to her school

Thank you all for supporting the New Leaders Giving Tuesday Campaign! Your generous donations support Ashley, a charter school principal in Newark, New Jersey. Ashley wants to make sure all children know “how brilliant and skillful they are every day, so they enjoy learning.”

Before joining New Leaders, Ashley spent five years teaching third and fourth grade at the same charter school, where she was also the third and fourth grade level chair. This school is led by two New Leaders (Rashene and Misha) and Ashley is proud to still be working at the school four years after being placed there through Teach For America.

Ashley decided to become a school leader because she wants to ensure student achievement is a top priority and inspire teachers by helping them achieve results. She is eager to work with her cohort and share and discover best practices.

Ashley was recognized as Spotlight Teacher by New Leaders’ Effective Practice Incentive Community (EPIC) for the 2010 school year for driving the highest student achievement gains within a consortium of schools.

Thank you Anne, Adam, Leslie, Mark and Chad for supporting Ashley and New Leaders.
