I am SO EXCITED to announce that today, our AMAZING math coach was named 2023 Instructional Coach of the Year by the Maine Curriculum Leaders Association! Congratulations Mrs. Dailey! We always knew you were the best and now everyone else does! We are so proud of you!
Here is what MCLA had to say about Mrs. Dailey and her work in our school district:
Caitlin Dailey is currently the Math Coach at Oxford Elementary School, also supporting Hebron Station School as a Math Coach and is the K-6 Math Coordinator for Oxford Hills School District MSAD 17. Caitlin has been a coach for eleven years working in Augusta, Lewiston, and now MSAD 17.
Caitlin has a notable passion and expertise in math, has a deep repertoire of tools and resources to offer, and is undoubtedly highly skilled in instructional strategies. However, Caitlin is equally interested in collaboration and willing to follow the needs and requests of the teaching staff.
Caitlin is highly effective while also humbly acknowledging that even as a coach, she is a learner alongside her colleagues as teammates. Caitlin not only leads teachers through coaching cycles but also is an active participant in the school's PLC meetings, creating and sharing protocols. In addition, Caitlin has collaborated with the Maine Mathematics and Science Alliance to support teachers in implementing math interventions and spearheaded a multi-year district-wide professional development program. Caitlin believes that developing strong relationships is the key to a successful coaching model.
MCLA is proud to honor Caitlin Dailey as the 2023 Instructional Coach of the Year.
