Pamela Chu-Sheriff has been a teacher and leader in urban education for nearly 20 years and is the co-author of Restorative Practices That Heal School Communities: A Universal Design for Learning Approach. A dynamic and empathetic speaker, presenter, and coach, Pam firmly believes in the power of inclusive, equitable teaching and learning for all.
Pam was one of the founding administrators of a middle school in Cambridge, MA. The school hosted learning tours for visitors from across the state and across the country. One of Pam’s greatest sources of pride was hearing from students that they could be themselves or see themselves reflected at the school.
Prior to her time in Cambridge, Pam worked in the Boston Public Schools, where she served as a school leader and an English and Humanities teacher at the middle and high school levels. She is also a trained International Baccalaureate teacher for both the Middle Years Programme and the Diploma Programme.
The proud daughter of Taiwanese immigrants, Pam holds a B.A. from Tufts University and an M.Ed. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Pam enjoys all things food-related and spending time with her husband and daughter.
