About me
Dr. Berardi is on a quest to design creative, engaging and joyful educational pathways for end users (nontraditional, underrepresented, and at-risk learners) to be successful. With service, social justice, and literacy as the center of her core values, Dr. Berardi is a fierce advocate for breaking the barriers and biases that hold special education platforms in a container of inequity and old-school design.
With a whole-brain whole -child, wrap-around approach, my vision is to change the trajectory of current practices by designing innovative, intentionally soulful programming for all nontraditional learners and the adults who have a daily impact on these students and their families. Culture and community is one of the most important aspects of my approach toward learning.
Currently Dr. Berardi is the Assistant Superintendent of Learning and Design for CITL, therapeutic and Special Education Programs. From the outset, her focus has been on developing a holistic approach through whole brain whole child, wrap-around education and a focus on strong school relationships and a strong culture of community where teachers and students can continue to develop their unique selves, contribute to community, develop capacity, and engage in cycles of inquiry in alignment with the North Star Educational Commitments.
