Interviewee

Winston Roberts

Winston Roberts stands as a beacon of innovation in education, with over seven years of dedication to shaping the next generation at KIPP BOLD Academy in Newark, NJ. A proud Morehouse Man, Winston graduated magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa in 2014, armed with a BA in Political Science and a Master's from the Relay Graduate School of Education, sharpening his pedagogical skills for a rapidly evolving world. Winston's influence extends beyond the classroom through his “Teacher in a Suit” YouTube channel, where he demystifies AI tools like ChatGPT, making them accessible to educators, parents, and students alike. His advocacy for AI in education led to a transformative policy change within the KIPP NJ network: AI tools, once blocked for staff use, were unblocked due to his efforts. This pivotal shift now enables teachers to harness the power of ChatGPT, significantly easing their workload and combating educator burnout, thereby enriching the teaching and learning experience across the board. Winston will be advancing his mission to reshape educational paradigms by enrolling in the Master’s in Education Entrepreneurship program at the University of Pennsylvania's Graduate School of Education.
