Catherine has over 17 years of classroom and educational leadership experience. Catherine holds a B.A. in Biology from Boston University and an M. Ed. from the University of Massachusetts. She completed a CAGS in Leading and Learning in a Competency-Based System at Southern New Hampshire University; this program was a product of a collaboration between Southern New Hampshire University and 2Revolutions. 

 Starting her career in Massachusetts, she was recruited out of college by the Department of Education to help fill the growing need for highly qualified science educators. During her four years at North Andover High School, she taught Biology, Anatomy and Physiology, and AP Biology. In 2009, Catherine joined the faculty at Marshwood High School in South Berwick, ME.  There she expanded her experience to teach Physical Science and Chemistry. After moving to Maine, she joined a team that consisted of educators from three states, industry leaders, higher education, and representatives from the Boston Museum of Science to investigate strategies for improving STEM education for all students. The team created model lessons that integrated engineering practices into science content to improve critical thinking and establish more equitable opportunities for participation in higher-level science classes. This project culminated in a  STEM Education Summit for district leadership from across northern New England. In 2015, Catherine joined Traip Academy in Kittery, Maine. With a community mandate for transformation, Catherine was part of the leadership team that drove the change process. Her classroom served as the pilot program, where they prototyped and revised CBE policies and student-centered practices that eventually were implemented school-wide.  Catherine worked with district leadership to help facilitate community outreach related to the transformation process, led professional development, and coached teachers on creating the school’s competency framework. Most recently, Catherine served as the Science Department Head at Exeter High School in Exeter, NH where she also served an instructional and curriculum coach.  In addition to being a New Hampshire NGSX trainer, she has led district professional development around building a Competency Framework and integrating 21st Century Skills and dispositions. 

As a Coach for 2Revolutions, Catherine has co-facilitated state-level professional learning communities focused on leveraging performance assessment as evidence of graduation readiness and served as an adjunct professor for Spalding University. Catherine will be leveraging her passions and experiences in implementing competency-based, student-centered learning to support our Graduate programs and Communities of Practice.
