Kayla Schlichting
Elementary Mathematics
Kayla takes great joy in making sense of mathematics and helping teachers and students do the same. She is passionate about teaching math for deep understanding and is inspired by helping teachers develop their own mathematical content knowledge, as she truly believes, as Marilyn Burns says, “you can’t teach what you don’t understand.” Kayla delights in the learning process and loves being in classrooms, learning with and from elementary aged students. She comes to Metamorphosis with 12 years of experience teaching, leading, and coaching in schools in New Orleans, Boston, and New York City. She is a graduate of Bank Street’s Leadership in Mathematics Education Program and is currently an adjunct instructor at Bank Street Graduate School of Education.
