EdLeader Podcast - Purpose and Intentionality: The Role of the Principal in MTSS with Dr. Tanya Turner
To date, the most listened-to episode of the EdLeader podcast has been a conversation with Brianne Hall and Heather Boston on MTSS. Following the release of that episode, I have received requests for more conversations on the topic of MTSS and look forward to doing just that.
MTSS, or Multi-Tiered Systems of Support, is a framework for school improvement. From selecting materials to planning instructional activities to improving core instruction, to considering interventions for groups and individual students, MTSS guides teachers and administrators to focus clearly on process improvement and effective practices.
Dr. Tanya Turner serves as the Superintendent of the Perquimans County School System and is recognized as an effective and highly regarded instructional leader in the Northeastern Region of North Carolina and across the state. She began her career in education as a fifth-grade teacher prior to serving as an instructional facilitator. She served as a Middle School Assistant Principal, a Director of Teacher Development and Testing, and then served as a Middle School Principal leading school improvement efforts to move from a school that had not met growth in several years to meeting growth eight out of nine years, with seven of those years as high growth. After her successful tenure as a Middle School Principal, she was tapped as Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction with Edenton-Chowan Schools for four years before returning to lead the school system she attended as a student.
Dr. Turner's presentations on EVAAS have been recognized at the state level and published on the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction’s regional website as well as the NC STAR website. Her knowledge and leadership in data-driven instruction have afforded her the opportunity to conduct numerous trainings across the state for many school districts. She is a former District Teacher of the Year, District Assistant Principal of the Year, and two-time District Principal of the Year.
Dr. Turner holds a Doctorate in Educational Leadership from Wingate University, a Masters in Supervision and Administration from East Carolina University, and a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from Methodist University. She graduated from the North Carolina Aspiring Superintendent’s Program in 2017 as a member of the program's inaugural cohort.
One year ago she joined me on the EdLeader podcast to discuss Literacy as the one big thing in every classroom, every subject, every grade level, and every school.
