Chandra Orrill is a professional in their field. Colleagues describe them as "The class I took with Dr. Orrill remains one of the most important of my Masters course work. The structure she provided allowed for in depth discussion of the basic mathematical foundations that are laid in the elementary years. She strongly encouraged us to pay special attention to creating lesson plans that thoughtfully develop mathematical thinking, rather than simple proficiency. I believe her teaching has allowed me to become a better, more confident math teacher."
