Dr. Jacqueline A. Norris brings more than thirty years of experience as teacher and administrator to her role of assistant professor at The College of New Jersey. Throughout those years she worked to ensure that the young people for whom she was responsible were equipped with the academic, social and emotional literacy skills necessary to be success as students and more importantly as citizens in a very pluralistic society. Now, she expands this goal to ensuring that the pre-service and practicing teachers and administrators with whom she works possess these same competencies and can teach them to and model them for the students with whom they work.
