Ingrid Coke

Biography

I believe math is for everyone, and I am passionate about creating spaces where all learners feel welcome and capable. As a former Math Coach and District Curriculum Specialist, I work to break down barriers and challenge the seemingly pervasive mindset that math is only for some.

In 2025, I was honored as a finalist for the Fulbright Leaders for Global Schools Program, recognizing my leadership in the math community and in curriculum and instruction. This experience reinforced my commitment to supporting educators and students in reaching their full potential.

With certifications in math, science, physics, special education, school leadership, and curriculum and instruction, I enjoy discovering creative ways to help others see the possibilities in math while exploring new opportunities to lead, innovate, and make a positive impact in education
