Education specialist Kristi S. Langley most recently served as a district-level director of professional learning communities (PLC) and a director of data and assessment, supporting special education classrooms across Phoenix, Arizona. Kristi taught at both the elementary and middle school levels and held the role of principal at the preK, elementary, and middle school levels where, in collaboration with staff, she repeatedly facilitated successful schoolwide implementation of the PLC process for more than 25 years.
Kristi and her schools received multiple recognitions at the state and National level, including The Early Literacy Grant, Title I Rewards School—Invitation of Application, Superintendent’s Award of Excellence, and Grand Canyon University’s Gold Canyon Road of Excellence Award. Kristi also received the state’s Rodel Principal of the Year Award.
Sunset School, a Model PLC at Work® school, was recognized as a School of Excellence Stop, which resulted in many visits from other schools, districts, and the governor of Arizona. These visits allowed others to see and learn how students at a Title I School, where 98 percent of learners (many multilingual) received free and reduced lunch, were able to learn at levels that placed them second in the state for most points earned in the state labeling system. Sunset has been recognized through Arizona’s Results-Based Funding Program for continuing to score in the top five percent, and it has remained an A school for more than 10 straight years.
Kristi earned a bachelor’s degree in elementary education with an emphasis in middle-level education from the University of Wyoming at Laramie. She earned a master’s degree in computer applications and an educational specialist degree in educational leadership from Nova Southeastern University.
