Lacey Robinson

Lacey Robinson is the president and CEO of UnboundEd, and the chair of the Board of CORE Learning. As CEO, Robinson sets the organization’s vision for transforming instruction to ensure every single student succeeds and thrives. A former elementary teacher, middle school principal, and professional development specialist, Robinson has devoted her career to empowering educators everywhere to break the predictability of historic achievement patterns.

As CEO of UnboundEd, Robinson oversees UnboundEd’s health, sustainability, and vision for how grade-level, engaging, affirming, and meaningful — GLEAM® — instruction can transform teachers’ experiences and student learning. In 2022, Robinson led the merger of UnboundEd, Pivot Learning, and CORE Learning under the UnboundEd banner — creating the nation’s largest K–12 educator development organization focused on meeting the needs of all learners.

Robinson is a leading national voice on addressing the predictability of students’ educational outcomes, and was named to 2023’s Forbes 50 Over 50 list in recognition of her trailblazing leadership. Her book, "Justice Seekers: Pursuing Equity in the Details of Teaching and Learning," released in July 2023, is a love letter to teachers inspiring us all to recognize that “justice is found in the details of teaching and learning®.” She frequently serves as a featured keynote speaker, and her personal literacy journey is shared on Emily Hanford’s Sold a Story podcast.

She is a proud graduate of Florida A&M University and Teachers College, Columbia University.
