Tooba Mansoor

With over 10 years of experience in policy design, curriculum and assessment development, teacher training, and AP science teaching, I will bring a wealth of knowledge and experiences as a Director of Policy at The College Board. My background in policy and leadership has allowed me to successfully manage cross-functional teams and collaborate with government entities to influence and recommend policy change. I can effectively develop and implement policies to promote access, equity, and innovation in education. Additionally, I have developed and reviewed standardized assessments for the Michigan Department of Education. Furthermore, I have held presentations for the state-wide network of leaders through miSTEM at the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity. My workshop focused on computational thinking in science and its alignment to the state standards, curriculum and assessments. With my comprehensive skill sets in curriculum and assessment development, policy design, professional development workshops, team leadership, I am well-equipped to make a significant impact to your team.
