Meet Dr. Cristina Compton

​
Dr. Cristina Compton received her doctorate in education from Teachers College, Columbia University in 2016, with a concentration in the teaching of English. She began her career in education as a NYC Teaching Fellow, teaching in a Title 1 school, while completing her Masters in Childhood Education.

At CPET, Cristina serves as the Director of Program Development, overseeing a wide range of school-based projects and the Student Press Initiative, which supports teachers and students in developing projects that culminate in professionally designed, print-based publications.

​When working with schools, she focuses on areas of strength and opportunities for growth, in an effort to develop highly customized and targeted professional development plans. In her on-site work, Cristina supports schools with curriculum design, unit planning, project-based learning, and developing literacy strategies that can bolster student achievement across the disciplines. ​
