New Orleans, LA (PRWEB) August 12, 2014 -- Connections Education, Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF), and Southern University at New Orleans (SUNO) are pleased to announce that TMCF Collegiate Academy @ SUNO (TMCF@SUNO), the unique new addition to the New Orleans public education scene, has named New Orleans educator Angela Kinlaw principal.

As excited as I am about the technology, I am most excited about our personalized approach to learning in-person and virtually. Scholars can excel more with opportunities for enrichment, while learning at a pace that works best for them.

“I look forward to joining TMCF@SUNO’s future team of certified teachers, administrators, and support staff in delivering the academy’s blended, college preparatory program to our scholars,” said Angela Kinlaw, principal of TMCF@SUNO, who believes in referring to all students as scholars. “We have a daily opportunity to speak into existence not simply who we think they can be, but who we believe they already are,” she said.

TMCF@SUNO students will be provided with a laptop and other technology tools; allowing them to work anywhere within the academy as well as beyond, 24/7. The academy will open as a middle school serving grades 6-8 in the 2015-2016 school year and will add one high school grade per year starting in 2016.

“As excited as I am about the technology, I am most excited about our personalized approach to learning in-person and virtually,” said Kinlaw. “Scholars can excel more with opportunities for enrichment, while learning at a pace that works best for them.”

Kinlaw served as ninth grade principal at John McDonogh High School in New Orleans this past school year. Her previous education experience includes principal positions in San Diego and St. Louis. She earned a Master of Education (MEd) in educational leadership and administration from San Diego State University-California State University and an MEd in curriculum and instruction from University of San Diego.

TMCF@SUNO will offer a state-of-the-art physical campus where a dedicated in-person staff—including Principal Kinlaw, a guidance counselor, personal trainer, and highly qualified Louisiana-certified teachers—will interact with students on-site, in addition to licensed virtual teachers. Campus-based “Success Coaches” will also help guide students through the school’s comprehensive curriculum which includes AP courses, foreign languages, core academics and more. Among the engaging electives offered will be Juilliard eLearning, online music courses developed exclusively with the famed conservatory. Additionally, students will experience hands-on, project-based learning.

“Angela’s experience, passion for education, and vision for re-imagining middle and high school to better serve students will be instrumental to the academy’s success,” said Mickey Revenaugh, Executive Vice President of Connections Education. “We are thrilled to have Angela at the helm of TMCF@SUNO.”

The academy is authorized by the Orleans Parish School Board and governed by a local Board of Directors. Its curriculum and other services are provided through contract by Connections Education, a leading provider of high-quality, highly accountable online and blended learning accredited by AdvancED. As the academy’s national non-profit partner, Thurgood Marshall College Fund will offer high-achieving academy students the opportunity to receive scholarships to attend its public Historically Black College and University (HBCU) member schools.

“TMCF@SUNO will provide its students with the learning environment necessary to ensure success in college and beyond through an innovative and individualized guided early college program,” said Juontonio K. Pinckney, Vice President and Superintendent of TMCF’s K-12 Initiatives. “We are excited to have an extraordinary instructional leader like Angela to lead that charge.”

Added Victor Ukpolo, Ph.D., Chancellor of SUNO, “The academy will offer students a high-quality education, access to college level courses at SUNO, and a technology-enhanced education that aligns to the needs of our global society—all without leaving New Orleans.”
