About Dr. Justin Williams
Dr. Williams' personal pedagogy is all about social justice. He has always told his students that the study of literature, movies, shows and music is really the study of ourselves. He uses the word LOVE in his classroom and spends the first two weeks of every school year building trust and safety (intellectual, emotional) with his students. Even in his third decade teaching, he cannot wait to see his students every single day.
Education
2023
Ed.D.
Hofstra University
During doctoral study, Justin chose to become an expert in the field of Career & Technical Education (CTE). The literature review for his dissertation defined CTE and what research presents as signature features of CTE programs in high schools. CTE programs, at their best, should deploy project-based, student centered strategies by teachers. Justin believes the ultimate purpose of public education is to ensure all students can enter the workforce and earn a livable income as soon as they wish.

1995
B.S. - English Education
Penn State University
Dr. Williams decided he wanted to be an English teacher at the end of his sophomore year. He had phenomenal professors and coaches (he played football and ran track) who taught him the value of being thoroughly prepared while helping him clearly define who he is, which helped him develop his classroom persona, management style, and personal bag of teaching tricks.
