This is my 7th year in the role of instructional coach at the Ellis. For the upcoming school year I will focus on supporting math instruction K-6 including the implementation of the Illustrative Math curriculum and a successful launch of the ST Math Grant Program! I am also very passionate about the integration of Social Emotional Learning and academics. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions. I look forward to working with you!
