More about Dr. Andrea Roberts....

Journey & Accomplishments:

I taught high school foreign language and elementary school grades two through five over a 16-year span in two Title One schools.  During my tenure as an elementary teacher, I taught in self-contained classes, single gender classes and even had the pleasure of looping with students.  Then, I served as an instructional coach for two years, leading the school to a 30-point gain in the annual report card score.  From this position, I moved into an assistant principal position for just over a year before being promoted to interim principal.  This led to principalships in two Title One schools over the next few years.  Then, I was selected to serve as a Transformation Coach for the South Carolina Department of Education to assist with increasing student achievement in federally identified schools.  Currently, I serve as Assistant Superintendent, having held this position for the last three years.  I am excited to supervise only elementary principals this school year since that has been the bulk of my experience.  I continue to hold both teacher and leader certification in Georgia and South Carolina.

Commitment to Continued Learning:

Recently, I completed the District Office Professional Development Program offered by GSSA and am currently enrolled in the Lead Every Day Academy.  Reading is one way I continue to learn, having recently read Uncommon Greatness and I am reading Atomic Habits.

Fun Fact:

I enjoy cooking and have recently taken up baking with sourdough starter.  There are so many options available that I frequently bake bread just to share with others.
