Ms. Cheryl, formerly known as Ms. Price, is a passionate educator with more than twenty years’ experience in education -- teaching and inspiring culturally and academically diverse learners.  Her higher-education experience has focused on adult students enrolled in high school equivalency (GED), developmental education, and college credit courses. She has in-depth experience in designing and implementing a college readiness curriculum and higher education transition programs with proven outcomes. 

Teaching philosophy

• I know for a fact that academic success depends more on having the will and developing skill, not on perceived levels of “smartness.” 
• I am dedicated to customizing each students' academic experience to increase their academic achievements.
• I have inspired students overcome distractions, build motivation, and increase academic confidence.

In 2005, Cheryl started her professional career with  Austin Independent School District (AISD), where she worked at several economically-disadvantaged schools. Since 2008, she has worked at Austin Community College (ACC). Her roles include not only educating students but also faculty and other professional educators:

• Student Development Professor
• Adult Education Math Instructor
• College-Prep Program Coordinator
• Faculty Development Facilitator
• Growth Mindset Training Designer
• Academic Coaching Trainer
