REGGIE ROBINSON

TPI-US REVIEWER

Reggie Robinson’s work encompasses both early childhood through K-12 (PreK-12) and university-level education. He brings a pragmatic, systems-oriented approach to identifying challenges and uncovering opportunities for improvement around teacher preparation and PreK-12 student learning. Since joining TPI-US in 2013, Reggie has been instrumental in launching its review process and has contributed to over 100 Educator Preparation Program (EPP) reviews.

Reggie's foundational experiences include roles as a teacher, principal, and school district administrator. As a principal, he prioritized using multiple teacher pipelines and targeted instructional development as levers to improve student outcomes. This approach led to (1) gains in literacy and math, (2) reduced referrals for disciplinary and special education services, and (3) increased access to gifted education strategies and programming. Achievement for multilingual learners improved, and gaps between his students and those in higher-rated schools began to close. To refine the quality of alternative- and traditionally-certified teacher candidate pools, he fostered partnerships with EPPs, creating valuable opportunities for purposefully-selected practicum and student teaching experiences.

In higher education, Reggie provides training in leadership, management, and supervision as an adjunct instructor. He also served as a leadership coach with the University of Maryland’s School Improvement Leadership Academy, focusing on improving teaching and leadership. Reggie’s experiences and skillset have been useful in the technical support he provides EPPs through TPI-US.

Reggie holds degrees from Millikin University, George Mason University, and the Harvard University Graduate School of Education, with post-graduate studies at the University of Northern Colorado. His ongoing professional learning includes recent work on actualizing Science of Teaching Reading theories and best practices for upper elementary and adolescent learners. Reggie is committed to advancing effective teaching practices and challenging those that fall short for students.
