Gavin Roddy

As a longtime educator, I’ve had the privilege of serving students across urban and rural landscapes as a classroom teacher, instructional coach, and administrator. My career is defined by a commitment to supporting diverse learning styles and closing the achievement gap. I have been fortunate to have done this in a variety of roles including classroom teacher, curriculum developer, instructional coach, 504 coordinator, dean of students, assistant principal, and principal.
