Angela Campbell

Angela Campbell ’92, MA ’96 (STEP), posted a brief statement on the Education Trust website in January about her 20 years of teaching in Southern California and what drew her to John Francis Polytechnic Senior High School in Sun Valley. “I chose this location because I speak Spanish and wanted to help bridge gaps for English Language Learners,” she explained later. Angela holds teaching credentials in biology, chemistry and physics and is National Board certified. She is a science fellow for her district and science department chair and chemistry lead. She also writes about other milestones: “In 2013 I was selected as a semifinalist for the Fishman Prize for Superlative Classroom Teaching. [In 2014] I worked with a team of colleagues on a policy paper about teacher compensation through Educators 4 Excellence and was selected to participate in an international summit on teacher professional development that was held by the Sutton Trust and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in Washington, D.C. I have two amazing and talented daughters, ages 10 and 12.”
