Ms. Wilson also utilizes the data from the school’s Professional Practices rubric (based on Charlotte Danielson’s work) to improve teacher instructional practices with the intent of improving student achievement. Ms. Wilson earned a bachelor’s of science degree in marine biology from the University of North Carolina-Wilmington, and she holds a master’s degree in secondary education, specializing in curriculum and instruction from Arizona State University.
