Lebon Daniel James III is a PhD Candidate in the Educational Policy and Planning program in the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies at the University of Texas at Austin. After earning a B.S. in Political Communication and a B.A. in Ethnic Studies from the University of Texas at Austin, Lebon became a teacher in San Antonio. His awareness of the landscaping of schooling and access students were offered grew as he taught multiple content at the middle and high school levels. He saw how teacher mindset, socio-emotional awareness, parent involvement, and many others greatly impact the student's exschooling experience and realized he wanted to advance in his role and have a greater influence on education by becoming a school administrator. He was selected to the Trinity Principals Fellowship where he obtained his Master of Education degree in School Leadership and a State of Texas Principal certificate. After serving as an administrator for three years in San Antonio and commuting to Austin as a part-time student, Lebon knew he wanted to become more involved in research. Now, he is a full-time time student at UT serving as a teaching assistant and graduate assistant.
