Biography
My name is Dr. Angela Clark, Ed. D., and I am a proud alumnus of St. Louis Public Schools graduating from Sumner High School. "Go, Bulldogs!" I am a seasoned educator and passionate advocate for empowering teachers and students to pursue educational excellence. With a rich background spanning over 14 years in the field of education, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the role of Academic Instructional Coach (AIC).
After graduating with honors with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Elementary Education from Lindenwood University in August 2010, I embarked on a journey in education fueled by a deep-seated commitment to nurturing young minds. I then earned a Master's Degree in Education with an Emphasis in Reading Specialist from Lindenwood University in August 2018 and completed a Doctoral Degree in Higher Education Leadership at Maryville University in the summer of 2022. Currently, I am pursuing a Master's Degree in Administrative Leadership at Lindenwood University, with an expected graduation date of December 2024.
My most notable recognitions include being an honorary recipient of The Pettus Teacher of Excellence Award during the 2014-2015 school year and being named the 2024 Supporting School Leader of the Year as an Academia Instructional Coach.
Recognized for my exceptional teaching methods and unwavering dedication, I was promoted to various leadership roles within the academic community. I served as a mentor for several years with the Saint Louis Teacher Residency Program. I was grade-level and department lead (Math) for several years, fostering a collaborative learning environment. In 2020, I transitioned into the role of an Academic Instructional Coach, where I found my true calling. As a coach, I have been instrumental in transforming teaching practices and elevating student outcomes. A blend of encouragement, mentorship, and data-driven strategies marks my approach. I am renowned for my ability to inspire teachers, helping them unlock their potential and implement effective instructional techniques tailored to diverse learning needs.
I am looking forward to the 2024-25 school year.
