Texas Woman's University
Blanca Jurado began her doctoral studies at TWU in Fall 2021 after earning her master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Texas at Arlington.
She currently serves as a bilingual instructional coach for the Irving Independent School District, having served there for fourteen years. Her time with Irving ISD has also included teaching fourth- and fifth-grade students as an English Language Arts Bilingual and Gifted and Talented instructor. Her work has been guided by a commitment to evidence-based practice in aligning curriculum with school goals, implemented largely through leading professional development efforts with teachers.
She plans to enter academia in educator preparation, particularly in the areas of bilingual education and integrating the needs of traditionally marginalized communities with overall educational goals.
