CGI Professional Development

Dinah Brown

Before joining the SDSU Professional Learning Collaborative, Ms. Brown was the Coordinator of Curriculum and Instruction, Del Mar, CA.  Ms. Brown was already an experienced math facilitator when she attended her first CGI PD Session with Vicki Jacobs. She found CGI’s focus on understanding of how children think about solving problems to be the missing piece she had been searching for throughout her career. CGI PD changed her life forever and she chose to spend the last 17 years sharing her passion and knowledge with teachers both in her own district and other districts throughout the nation. Every teacher, principal and teacher aide in her school district has participated in four to seven years of CGI professional learning under Ms. Brown’s guidance.  In 2017, Del Mar Union School District was awarded the Golden Bell Award for an exemplary professional learning program in the area of CGI. Prior to working in education administration, she was an elementary teacher who taught grades 3-6, with most of her teaching experience in grade six.
