Notă biografică
Dr. Jacqueline Elliot was born in Glasgow, Scotland and immigrated with her parents and two brothers to Los Angeles, California, at age 13. She earned a bachelor's degree in anthropology, a teaching credential, a master's degree in educational administration and a doctorate in educational leadership and change. Elliot's first career was in public health, serving as director of a non-profit family planning clinic and then as director of health education for a non-profit health corporation in the Northeast San Fernando Valley. She entered public education as a first grade teacher in 1986 in a public school in Pacoima, California. Alarmed by the conditions in her school and the statistical likelihood that up to one half of her students would drop out of high school, Elliot committed herself to public school reform. In 1999, she overcame great adversity to open the first startup public charter middle school in Los Angeles, Community Charter Middle School. The popularity and success of the school led to Elliot founding nine additional charter schools to serve the community over the next several years. She collaborated with Dr. Ref Rodriguez, who was founding schools in Northeast Los Angeles that were based on the same principles and philosophy as her schools. In 2004, they co-founded Partnerships to Uplift Communities (PUC), an umbrella organization for the public charter schools each had established. Together they are responsible for founding a total of fourteen schools in the two communities.Dr. Jacqueline Elliot has been part of several charter school boards and now serves as CEO of PUC National and as an adjunct professor at Loyola Marymount University in the graduate program in education. Jackie enjoys spending quality time with her husband, five children, five grandchildren and her cat, Gracie.
