Academy Director
Academy for Advanced and Creative Learning, Colorado
Ms. Teresa Brown joined AcademyACL in 2010 in its flagship year as a Divsion III teacher and is currently serving as Academy Director. She has served as a coach to help teachers grow their practice, working with students as a gifted facilitator and member of the MTSS team, as well as creating our own teacher induction program approved by CDE to prepare teachers joining our program with our focus on gifted education. She has presented sessions for education conferences (including Denver’s Comic-Con!) as an advocate for gifted learners and their needs in the classroom in Colorado and Minnesota, and supported conferences for CAGT in various roles. She serves as a general board member of CAGT and as the chair of the Education committee, and as president of our local CAGT affiliate (PPAGS). She is also a member of the Child-Centered Gifted Consortium, a group of international educators working to advocate for child-centered gifted education.
She earned a Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction and her endorsements as a Gifted Specialist and in K-12 English Language Arts. She was the 2012 winner of the Charter School Teacher Leader of the Year Award from the Colorado League of Charter Schools.
She is honored to be a part of an amazing team of educators who see our gifted learners for who they are and will be, not what they produce.
