Meredith began her career as a member of the Urban Catholic Teacher Corps at Boston College, where she taught fifth-grade while working toward her masters’ degree. She then moved to California, where she worked for 14 years as a teacher and dean for Aspire Public Schools. While at Aspire, Meredith received the California Charter School Teacher of the Year Award and became a semi-finalist for TNTP’s Fishman Prize for Superlative Classroom Practice. As a dean of instruction, she was able to effectively coach teachers to improve authentic academic discourse in math classrooms. Meredith believes every math classroom deserves a highly effective teacher who consistently demonstrates equitable teaching practices and creates a student-centered environment where all students are given the tools they need to access the curriculum. In her free time, she loves to spend time at parks and museums with her three young children.
