A School Principal Inspired

Dr. Rosa Cabrera is a principal who believes the way to increase student achievement is to encourage, challenge and coach her teachers by giving honest feedback about their work. This Texas native, currently the principal at Neely O’Brien Elementary School in Kent, Washington, started her education career as a kindergarten teacher in Killeen, Texas.

While Rosa was teaching kindergarten, she discovered that her 32-year-old sister did not know how to read. The revelation opened her eyes and became the catalyst for her to pursue a leadership role in education. She works diligently to ensure that all children in her school are reading above or at their given level.

Rosa has earned her superintendent certificate and is a member of the AASA/Howard University Urban Superintendents Academy cohort. Her goal on her path to superintendency is to get others to understand her vision and driving passion, despite that fact that they may have conflicting views.

According to Rosa, inundating kids with content alone is not a successful learning method. It’s important to use technology and data to determine the best ways to meet the needs of children as learners.

The future look bright for Rosa Cabrera and Neely O’Brien Elementary School is lucky to have her as their passionate and thoughtful leader.
