Meet #ThePASSChick
April M. Jackson, MAED-SE, MAED-CI
With more than a decade of experience in education as an English teacher, project based learning facilitator, academic and literacy coach, I specialize in culturally responsive teaching, curriculum design, and educator coaching.
I holds a BA in English from Miles College and a MA in Secondary Education and MA in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Phoenix.
In 2020, I established PASS Network to improve parental engagement in education, provide student support and enhance teacher development. In 2021, I founded the non-profit PASS Network Foundation to specifically address the academic, emotional and enrichment needs of children in underserved communities and opened the first PASS Pod, a microschool designed to ensure students receive a culturally relevant and academically challenging learning experience.
I am also the co-founder of Black Microschools ATL, a collective of independently owned, non-traditional learning spaces for children in the Atlanta area.
