Dr. Robyn R. Jackson is passionate about building better schools. As the CEO of Mindsteps Inc. she has helped thousands of k12 administrators and teachers develop the clarity and confidence to turn their classrooms and schools into success stories.  

Dr. Jackson combines her experience as a high school English teacher and middle school administrator and her work in thousands of schools and districts in the US, Canada, the Caribbean, South America, and Asia to help teachers and administrators develop rigorous instructional programs that provide students with the support and motivation they need to reach or exceed the standards. 

After over 25 years in the profession,  Dr. Jackson began to notice that even the most well-meaning, hard-working teachers and administrators struggled to reach their goals for their schools.  So she developed a simple process that helps you get refocused on your vision, mission, and core values and build a better school with the resources you already have. As a result, she’s become the foremost expert in helping educators use the tools they have to build better schools. 

Dr. Jackson is the best-selling author of 10 books, including the award-winning Never Underestimate Your Teachers and the international best-seller Never Work Harder Than Your Students. She also hosts the popular podcast School Leadership Reimagined where each week, she offers free training on how to use feedback, support, accountability, and culture to build a bigger vision, develop a better process, and achieve a brighter future for your schools. 

When she’s not traveling the world, Dr. Jackson resides in Washington, DC with her Husband Charles and their Cane Corso Nola.
