The school district’s Dr. Alison Jackson has been recognized by the Texas Digital Learning Association (TxDLA) with the Outstanding Commitment to Excellence and Innovation in Digital Learning award.

The award honors individuals, institutions, or organizations that have significantly advanced digital learning practices over the past year. Jackson was recognized for her work supporting online learning programs in Aldine ISD, where she serves as the online learning programs support coordinator within the district’s Virtual School Office.

“My passion for digital learning was inspired by the transformative potential of technology to enhance access, equity, and engagement in education,” Jackson said. “Witnessing the power of personalized, flexible learning experiences motivates me to focus on creating environments where all students can thrive, regardless of their background or circumstances.”

The Virtual School Office, housed at the Bamberg Professional Development and Resource Center, provides flexible and high-quality online learning options for students across the district. Programs support students in credit recovery, credit advancement, and supplemental instruction.

“As a district coordinator, I support teachers and staff in online learning by providing ongoing professional development, facilitating collaborative communities of practice, ensuring access to robust digital tools, and offering personalized coaching,” Jackson said. “My approach fosters innovation to enhance instructional efficacy, which promotes student success using our online programs.”

According to TxDLA, the award is presented to a nominee who demonstrates leadership in the application of digital learning—through innovation, knowledge-sharing, and problem-solving in education. Winners are selected by TxDLA members across various educational sectors, including K–12, higher education, nonprofit, government, and corporate.

Looking ahead, Jackson says her team is working to further align online and in-person learning experiences for students.

“In Aldine ISD, we are enhancing digital learning through curriculum management and student performance tracking,” Jackson said. “Our goal is to maintain academic rigor and equitable access to resources for all learners by ensuring consistent and current curriculum standards, instructional strategies, and equitable rigor across all formats.”

“Dr. Jackson’s dedication to advancing digital learning in Aldine ISD reflects our ongoing mission to meet students where they are and expand access to high-quality education,” said Shanaya Anderson, director of the AISD Online Learning Department.
