“What sets Cheryl apart is not only her technical skill and vast experience, but also her leadership style. She is relational, thoughtful, and highly effective at building trust among colleagues, even when coaching around sensitive instructional challenges. Her professional development connections with teaching staff were engaging and practical, grounded in real classroom experiences. Cheryl’s capacity to mentor educators and lift instructional quality across an entire building is a rare gift.”
~M.Z. Director of Catholic Identity and Mission“Cheryl demonstrates diligence and expertise throughout all facets of her work. She is an expert in curriculum, intervention, and teaching practices and philosophies. She contributed immensely to the delegation and successful implementation of two new school-wide core curricula (Eureka Math and EL Education), which have both positively impacted student outcomes and achievement. Moreover, she is adept in identifying and assessing students’ academic and behavioral needs and applying her skills to address those needs.”
