My name is Amber Young, and I currently serve as an Education Specialist for Academics and Instructional Technology with the Windham School District in East Texas. Since joining WSD in 2019, I have had the privilege of supporting campuses, teachers, and instructional leaders across our region.

I began my career in education as a 6th grade World Cultures teacher at Huntsville Intermediate School. My classroom experience strengthened my passion for student-centered learning, technology integration, and high-quality professional development. During those years, I was fortunate to learn from strong mentors who modeled best practices and inspired my commitment to continuous improvement.

When I transitioned to Windham I first served as an Evaluation Coordinator in Operational Support, where I assisted with districtwide data analysis, evaluation systems, and reporting structures. That experience strengthened my skills in assessment, accountability, and data-driven decision-making, all of which influence the work I do today.

In my current role, I collaborate with an incredible team of specialists to provide instructional technology support, professional development, and academic guidance to teachers. Together, we strive to empower educators, elevate instructional practices, and expand meaningful learning opportunities for the students we serve.

I am passionate about innovative technology, equitable access, and helping teachers feel confident, supported, and inspired in their classrooms. Every day in this role reminds me of the impact that intentional leadership, strong partnerships, and ongoing learning can make in the world of education.
