Angela Doan currently serves as Salt Lake City Mayor Biskupki’s Senior Advisor for Education. Angela is a proud first generation Vietnamese-American born Glendale-Salt Lake City native who taught in her childhood neighborhood and school district. As a former Title-I elementary school teacher with five years of experience teaching in mainstream, inclusive classrooms in grades 2-4, Angela was recognized as a highly effective teacher. Using data-informed practices, she led her team through a demanding federal school reform transformation process. Angela then moved into the legal field to bring a teacher's voice into education law and policy reform. |

During her graduate studies, she was a program supervisor for a dozen student teachers and taught a weekly seminar on teaching and classroom management. She was formerly a legal intern with the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights, the New England Innocence Project, and Massachusetts Advocates for Children. In her current capacity, Angela advises and makes recommendations to the Mayor on policy development and educational programming based on current law, data, and best practices in education. Her current focus is on early childhood education and the school-to-prison pipeline. She serves as the city liaison to the local school district, agencies and entities. She chairs the Salt Lake Education Alliance, a collaborative working group of nearly a dozen local partnerships focused on educational equity and is the Mayor’s designee on the Salt Lake City School District Board of Education. Angela earned a Bachelors in Elementary Education at the University of Utah, a Masters in Educational Leadership from Boston College Lynch School of Education, and a Juris Doctorate from Boston College Law School. She continues to be a Utah licensed elementary teacher and anticipates being sworn into the Utah State Bar in the fall of 2018.

A College-Wide Commitment to Urban Teacher Education
The Urban Institute for Teacher Education, in conjunction with the four departments in the College of Education and academic colleges throughout the University of Utah, prepares undergraduate and graduate teacher candidates in early childhood, elementary, and secondary education. Through a college-wide core curriculum future teachers acquire the knowledge and skills in areas that include: school-family partnerships, multicultural education, educational law, assessment, special education, classroom management, and educational research. Classroom and community experiences through practica and service learning focus on issues of equity, access, and social justice for contemporary students, teachers, and families.
Interdisciplinary Collaboration
The Urban Institute for Teacher Education is currently in partnership with several programs, clinics and research centers that will become part of the new Beverly Taylor Sorenson Arts and Education Complex.
