Dr Jackson has been an inspiration in the area of enabling all students to achieve the optimal potential and recognizing the gifts each has. I worked with her at Arlington High School in Indianapolis during the NUA initiative. She was fantastic. Just what the staff needed to work with their inner city youth who had so much to offer but had such a hard time making certain that their potential was developed. In my opinion, you already have the most important award, the heart felt thanks of thousands of students you have helped by supporting powerful education for all.
