ABOUT BARBARA BLACKBURN
Dr. Barbara Blackburn has dedicated her life to raising the level of rigor
and motivation for professional educators and students alike. What
differentiates Barbara’s ten books are her easily executable concrete examples
based on decades of experience as a teacher, professor, and consultant.
Barbara’s dedication to education was inspired in her early years by her
parents, Bob and Rose. Her father’s doctorate and life-time career as a
professor taught her the importance of professional training. Her mother’s
career as school secretary shaped Barbara’s appreciation of the effort all staff
play in the education of every child.
Barbara has taught early childhood, elementary, middle, and high school students
and has served as an educational consultant for three publishing companies. She
holds a master’s degree in school administration and is certified as a school
principal in North Carolina. She received her Ph.D. from the University of North
Carolina at Greensboro. In 2006, she received the award for Outstanding Junior
Professor at Winthrop University. She recently left her position at the
University of North Carolina at Charlotte to write and speak full-time.
In addition to speaking at state and national conferences, she also regularly
presents workshops for teachers and administrators in elementary, middle, and
high schools. Her workshops are lively and engaging and filled with practical
information. Her most popular topics include:
Rigor is NOT a Four Letter Word
Rigorous Schools and Classrooms: Leading the Way
Instructional Strategies that Motivate Students
Content Literacy Strategies for the Young and the Restless
Motivating Yourself and Others
