Executive Director/Professor
Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth
Baltimore, Maryland, United States
As the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth’s executive director, Amy Lynne Shelton is dedicated to designing, delivering, and studying innovative educational models and approaches intended to support a diverse community of advanced learners, their families and educators, and other collaborators in the field. A cognitive psychologist, Shelton previously served as the center’s senior director for research and led the center in an interim capacity, navigating the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and the challenges it posed for CTY, its students, and their families. Her research focuses on spatial skills, mechanisms of learning, and the needs of the individual learner. Current projects tackle critical question on how fundamental cognitive skills and principles might transform the way we identify and characterize advanced learners, including the benefits of using artifical intelligence in teaching, learning, and assessment.
