White-Wright named to national fellowship for educator-preparation leaders
Dr. Charlotte White-Wright
Dr. Charlotte White-Wright, Dean of Teachers College at Henderson State University, has been named an Impact Academy fellow through national non-profit organization Deans for Impact (DFI). White-Wright joins a cohort of leaders chosen for their commitment to improving educator preparation.
White-Wright is one of 18 leaders announced as part of the fellowship’s 10th cohort. These fellows lead programs that serve 11 U.S. states and a wide range of geographic and institutional contexts from coast to coast. The programs represent public and private universities, community colleges, residencies, and teaching fellowships.
“I am honored to join the Impact Academy fellowship and collaborate with a dynamic cohort of leaders who are deeply committed to transforming educator preparation,” White-Wright said. “At a time when our field faces urgent and complex challenges, this opportunity will help strengthen our efforts at Henderson State to develop highly effective teachers who are prepared to engage, inspire, and affirm every PK–12 student.
“I look forward to learning and growing alongside my fellow deans as we work together to advance equity, innovation, and excellence in education.”
Fellows will participate in monthly learning sessions, receive one-on-one coaching from seasoned leaders, and engage in peer consultancies to address field-facing challenges in real-time. They will hone their ability to engage faculty, staff, communities, and PK-12 partners in a shared vision for transformative change, grounded in a deep scientific understanding about how students learn.
Henderson State University offers more than 85 academic programs through its Caver College of Aviation, Science, and Nursing; College of Business; College of Performing Arts and Sciences; and Teachers College. Graduate-level programs include education, business, nursing, counseling, developmental therapy and sport administration.
