Andrea Katona
As a seasoned educator with over 27 years of experience, Andi can tailor learning opportunities to support the diverse needs of administrators and teachers to help them meet their literacy goals. Whether it’s drawing on the experiences of foundational reading from her early years as a kindergarten and first-grade teacher, or pulling out the tips and tricks she learned in her seventh-grade English classroom to motivate reluctant learners, Andi works tirelessly to meet educators where they are to ensure partners have the tools necessary to successfully leverage ThinkCERCA for improved student outcomes. As a former middle school principal of an awarding winning performing arts magnet school and the district director of literacy for the fifth largest school district in the nation, Andi’s experiences with facilitating large-scale improvement efforts provide the right mix of strategy, organization, and knowledge to ensure partners are engaged, feel supported, and are prepared for successful implementation.
