Dr. Taryn Chambers Givan Email & Phone Number

I am a transformational educator who is purposed in making a lasting impression in the educational system, especially for at-promise students, and to empower educators to embrace the values behind a progressive, out-of-the box approach as seekers of innovation and collaboration. I believe life-long learning is a critical binding piece to leading staff and students and as quoted by Les Brown, "No one rises to low expectations!" I have supported staff as a transformational leader in school turnaround and our team was recognized by Learning Forward Texas with the 2018 Outstanding Professional Learning Award. I received my Doctorate from Clark Atlanta University and hold a Principal's Certification through the Educational Leadership Program at Stephen F. Austin State University, a Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Texas A&M University-Texarkana, and a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from The University of Central Arkansas.Skills & Abilities:Initiative with a High Level of EnergyLeadership, Coaching, and TrainingCommunication & Interpersonal SkillsChange Management & Cultural CompetenceTechnology ProficiencyDepth of Knowledge in Best Practices
