Tina Smith
During her more than 15 years in education, Tina Smith has proudly served Pasadena Independent School District, a Model PLC at Work® district, as a four-year, district-level summer school program manager while working as assistant principal at Nelda Sullivan Middle School, a Model PLC at Work school.
Tina is inspired and fascinated by the learning process and has committed her entire educational career to leading economically disadvantaged and emergent English language learner students to academic, social, and emotional success. Before becoming a district and campus leader, Tina built her reading/language arts background as a teacher, department head, and instructional coach. Her passion for learning extends to a 14-year career at Houston Community College as an online tutor in the areas of English and education. She also educates aspiring Texas teachers as an instructor for an alternative certification program.
In 2016–2017, Tina helped open the doors to Nelda Sullivan Middle School. When their team received a disappointing 59/F state accountability rating at the end of their inaugural year, as a member of Sullivan’s instructional leadership team, Tina played an integral part in facilitating their transformational shift to a true professional learning community, improving their accountability rating to an 89/B in just two short years. This success also earned them numerous state acknowledgements and distinctions.
Tina earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Southern Mississippi and a master’s degree with an emphasis in adolescent literacy and technology from Walden University while completing her educational leadership coursework at iTeach Texas.
