  • Summary

  • In this episode we introduce you to The Queen Mother herself, Dr. Yvette Jackson. Mentor and Spiritual Mother to Queen LaLa, learn more from the special woman who inspired her work and fueled her passion. Queen Mother Jackson is a master educator who teaches that all children are “gifted” and it is our responsibility to activate their strengths to elicit high intellectual performance. What is needed to transform our school systems and ensure success for all students? Dr. Yvette Jackson is internationally recognized for her work in assessing the learning potential of disenfranchised urban students. Changing this reality for these students to one in which their intellectual potential is believed in, valued and optimized has been her calling for her entire career. She has applied her research in neuroscience, gifted education, literacy, and the cognitive mediation theory of Dr. Reuven Feuerstein to develop integrated processes that engage and elicit high intellectual performances from underachievers. She designed the New York City Board of Education’s Gifted Programs Framework while serving as Director of Gifted Programs. As New York City’s Executive Director of Instruction and Professional Development, she led the creation and implementation of the Comprehensive Education Plan, which maximizes the delivery of all core curriculum and support services in the Public Schools of New York City. Dr. Jackson currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the National Urban Alliance for Effective Education, founded at the College Board and Teachers College, Columbia University. She works with school district superintendents, administrators, teachers, and students across the United States and internationally to customize and deliver systemic approaches that enable students to demonstrate high intellectual performances. She bases her work on the principles and practices of the Pedagogy of Confidence, which she created to enable educators to accelerate the intellectual development and academic achievement of their students. Questions to Consider: What if schools focused on strengths and believed in the Pedagogy of Confidence? How can you activate the strengths of the children in your life? What resonates most with you?
