Meet PGCPS APIP Cohort 5 Participant, Dr. Shelita Campbell

Dr. Shelita Campbell is a native Washingtonian, who received her grade school education from both District of Columbia Public Schools and Prince George’s County Public Schools. She is a proud graduate of Crossland High School class of 1998! Thereafter, she immediately obtained her undergraduate Visual and Performing Arts/Dance degree from University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC). Shortly after obtaining her undergraduate degree, she found herself returning to her first love, working with children, through substitute teaching. Dr. Campbell quickly obtained her teaching certificate in order to continue her work in the Prince George’s County Public School system. After 10 years in the classroom, she was promoted to a district-wide Mentor Teacher with the Office of Talent Development. As a Mentor Teacher, she supported teachers and school leaders through systemic professional development. She was charged with coordinating the annual four-day PGCPS New Teacher Boot Camp.
