Frankie Jones currently serves as the Coordinator of Teaching and Learning for the Notre Dame ACE Academies, and as faculty for the Mary Ann Remick Leadership Program.
She formerly served as Director of Development for St. Ann Catholic School in Chicago. Jones’s research focuses on the ways in which teachers and school leaders facing intense accountability pressures successfully enact improvement strategies and cultivate productive school properties for authentic student achievement.
In addition to her strong record as an instructor at UIC, Jones’s knowledge of school policy and leadership alongside her own experiences within a “whatever-it-takes’ Catholic K-8 school has tremendous positive effects throughout the ACE community.
