Caitlin Moreno, Math Instructional Coach

"Dr. O’Garro’s approach to coaching made me feel like she was learning with me- she valued my points of view but challenged my engrained ways of thinking. It made the process enjoyable to learn and improve with her. Her approach to assessments helped me feel empowered that the changes we were making were positively impacting student learning."
