About

Janet Gilbert, Ph.D.

Janet knew from a very young age that she would be a teacher. Throughout her own education, teachers inspired her to love learning, take risks, and reach for the stars. Many years later, Janet now inspires others to do the same thing. Her career in education has expanded over 25 years where she empowers students and teachers to be the best they can be.

Janet began her career as a teacher where she taught a variety of grades in general education and special education. Finding a love for teaching reading, she eventually became a reading specialist where she supported struggling readers. While pushing into classrooms, she found that teachers wanted help with strategies to support their readers and moved into an instructional coaching role. Her desire for helping others with best instructional practices developed. Knowing that she wanted to continue to support teachers, Janet became a campus administrator to fulfill her passion of supporting educators by bridging the gap between teaching and learning.    

Janet holds several degrees. She has a B.A. in Elementary Education and a M.A. in Administration & Supervision from Arizona State University, a M.A in Early Childhood Education with Emphasis in Reading from Northern Arizona University, and a Ph.D. in General Psychology with Emphasis in Cognition and Instruction from Grand Canyon University. Janet’s research has focused on cognitive conditions and transfer of professional development learning. Her goal is to inspire others and impact learning.
