Mindful Math Coach’s core purpose is to support K-12 math educators and leaders in providing equitable learning experiences for historically marginalized students, with equitable outcomes as our ultimate, shared goal. Through free resources such as The Mindful Math Podcast, paid online workshops, and 1:1 coaching, educators will gain knowledge and skills to support students with unfinished learning alongside rigorous, grade-level content.
After six years in the classroom, Chrissy became an instructional leader where she coached middle school teachers for several years. She led the math team to increase the school’s Illinois Standardized Assessment Test (ISAT) from 51% to 79% within three years. In 2012, she successfully managed and supported the school’s transition to the CCSS in Math.
As Director of Math Professional Learning / Content Design at two national nonprofits, Chrissy created over 30 math professional learning sessions, led a team of designers, and provided internal training & support. Her vast experiences provide the necessary perspective to help schools and teachers shift their instructional practices to better support students.
Chrissy has facilitated math professional learning for hundreds (if not thousands) of educators across the country, including national conferences such as the National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics (NCSM) and SAP's Leading the Core Conference.
Chrissy earned a B.S. in Elementary Education, minoring in mathematics from Carroll University, and went on to receive a M.S. from Northwestern University in Elementary Education. She resides in Chicago with her husband, Dan, and two children, Liviana (8.5) and Otto (7).
