Ronald Anderson, M.Ed

I am currently an assistant principal at the J. Martin Jacquet Middle School in the Fort Worth Independent School District. Though my career only spans a short five years, I've encountered enough experiences that have contributed to my learning while in the field of academia.

It is truly my belief that all students should experience a quality education that promotes accountability and self-fulfillment. My vision is simple. Throughout my tenure in education, I must first EDUCATE, then EMPOWER, and continuously ENHANCE those that cross my path.

My goal is to EDUCATE all students by providing them with the necessary tools to be successful in and beyond the classroom. My hope is that I EMPOWER students to take ownership of their education and to build student leaders amongst them. My obligation is to continue to ENHANCE the social, emotional, and physical tools that will allow students to become productive members of society.

Likewise, the same model applies to educators. My goal is to EDUCATE all educators through the use of best educational practices and professional development. My hope is that I EMPOWER all educators to take ownership of their learning with hopes of pushing them beyond the levels of career expectation. My obligation is to consistently ENHANCE their professional experiences so that their years in the educational field are fulfilling which directly impacts the volume of teaching and learning in our classrooms.

As the late Nelson Mandela eloquently stated, "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can change the world. Education is the key to to eliminating gender inequality, to reducing poverty, to creating a sustainable planet, to preventing needless deaths and illness, and to fostering peace."

It is my journey to continuously promote the effectiveness and the power of education.
