Jo Tanzer
Leander High School, Leander ISD
Dean of Instruction
Leander High School
I am starting my 15th year in education and my 12th year in Leander ISD. I have a passion for empowering teachers to grow through professional learning that includes implementation support. I have focused on three instructional practices over the last few years: AVID (or AVID-like) processing strategies, peer coaching, and formative assessments used to drive small-group instruction. I have seen these three practices transform classrooms to increase student performance. Currently, I am the Dean of Instruction at Leander High School.
