Hi, I’m
Casey Sherriffs
Summary
Dynamic and innovative educational leader who thrives on sparking curiosity and creating authentic, experiential learning opportunities that give students the confidence to act on their ideas and carry them into the real world. With proven success in program development, curriculum innovation, and strategic school leadership, I have spearheaded initiatives that expand learning beyond the classroom. At Miss Edgar’s and Miss Cramp’s School, I designed and led the Entrepreneurial Platform, engaging students from Kindergarten to Grade 11 in design thinking, innovation, and real-world problem solving. I bring expertise in building community partnerships, mentoring faculty, and advancing student-centered initiatives. As an invited speaker on girls’ education and innovation in learning, I share insights that shape practice and foster collaboration across educational communities.
