We are excited to introduce our new Policy Director, Dr. Aqueelah Roberson! Dr. Aqueelah Roberson is a transformational servant leader who has supported students, families, and community members as an educator in the public and private education sectors for the last 17 years. She has held roles in the Minneapolis and Saint Paul school districts, and served as director of Concordia University’s Dr. Cheryl T. Chatman Diversity Center. Having artistic and loving parents who strongly emphasized the importance of a formal education, Roberson received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Theatre at North Carolina Central University, Master of Fine Arts at the University of Central Florida – Conservatory Theatre, and Doctorate of Educational Leadership at Concordia University, Saint Paul. Through educational avenues, Roberson finds ways to blend her passion for the performing arts, working with young people, and cultivating cultural awareness and sensitivity in her work. She warns her colleagues: If several days go by and we don’t catch her singing to herself, check in. Something might be wrong. 🎤🎵 Welcome Aqueelah!
About us
Education Evolving is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization focused on improving American public education. Our vision is that student-centered learning opportunities exist for ALL young people in Minnesota and around the country, in particular those who have been underserved by the current education system. Our theory of change envisions this will be the case when teachers have larger professional roles designing and running schools, and when policy serves to enable and encourage innovations in learning. We convene networks of innovators in education, and do policy research, analysis, and advocacy. In recent years, collaborative teacher leadership has been a major area of focus for us. We believe that teachers, knowing their students’ unique needs, must be designers and deciders—in schools where they have full authority as a professional group to make the decisions that matter for student and school success.
