Dr. Angela Leonard Davis

I am currently a Special Education Coordinator in a large suburban school district.

My educational background includes attending Lamar University where I earned a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with an emphasis in Early Childhood Education and where I also earned a Master's Degree in Educational Leadership. Recently, I graduated with a Doctorate in Educational Leadership with an emphasis in Inclusion and Special Education.

I have been fortunate to have a variety of teaching experiences over the past 18 years. I began my career as a first grade teacher. I then taught second grade for two years in Florida where I obtained a gifted certification. Upon returning to Texas, I began teaching English and reading in the special education resource setting for 6th, 7th. and 8th grade.

I currently hold Texas teaching certifications including, Principal, Elementary Education, Early Childhood Education, and Special Education. In addition, I am a a certified appraiser for T-TESS.

My current collaborative projects include Universal Design for Learning, Instructional Technology, inclusion studies for students served by special education, and research in the overrepresentation of students served by special education.

When I am not with teachers and students, I am a mother of two boys and I am blessed with an amazing husband. My evenings are often spent at baseball practice while trying to sneak in a few educational journals!
