My name is Winter J Marshall-Allen. I am a 18 year public educator specializing in the secondary setting in the áreas of Special Education and behavior intervention. I am currently teaching at Homer High School. I have previously worked in the Oklahoma public schools before moving to Alaska. Upon arriving in Alaska I taught in the village communities of Ambler and Koztebue before I relocated to the road system here in Homer after the state budget cuts in 2016. I am humbled to be the 2019 National Education Association Social Justice Activist of the Year. I regularly advocate for local, state and federal policy regarding IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) and cultural relevance and competency within policy and practice. I am deeply invested in Local and State Union activities, as a Board Member and organizer. I was the South Peninsula coordinator and helped to organize staff for preemptive measures against the KPBSD strike in 2019 and I am currently Organizing the KPEA Human and Civil Rights Committee. I am a co-author published in 2020 in the book Flip the System US: How Teachers can Transform Education and Save Democracy edited by Michael Soskil. I was recently recognized in 2021-2022 class of the Marquis Who's Who in America for my social contributions to society as a whole. In 2025 I also had the pleasure of contributing a chapter in the Restorative Justice: Real Solutions to Address Racism in Our School Communities Using Anti-Racist Strategies Edited by Erika Strauss Chavarria published by Myer's Education Press

I completed my Masters Degree in Applied Behavior Analytic studies at the Florida Institution of Technology. I completed this degree in May 2023 and will then sit for the Behavioral Analytics certification exam. I am currently a registered behavior technician and hold three teaching licenses with multiple endorsements in all three, the state of Alaska, the state of Hawai'i and the state of Oklahoma.

In February 2025 the Alaska State Governor's Council on Disabilities and Special Education awarded me the Inclusionary Practice Award. This is an incredible honor and privilege to be recognized for my passion and diligence to my students and community.
