Instructional Coaches

Hi! I’m Brandi Harris, your dedicated Academic Support Teacher, passionate about helping students in grades 3-5 thrive in literacy intervention. I’m proud to be from the Hampton Roads area and went to VCU to pursue teaching where I spent my seven years teaching in Richmond. I live with my husband and our adorable toy poodle. When I’m not working, you’ll find me running or enjoying quality time with my family. Fun fact: I completed a full marathon last year!

Hi, my name is Catherine Maness. I’ve been teaching since 2007. I have taught in elementary schools in Fairfax, VA, Bogota, Colombia and Arlington, VA. I became a Mathematics Coach at Alice West Fleet in 2021. I love working with students and getting them to think creatively and flexibly about math. Outside of school I love watching my own children participate in their activities and spending time with my husband and 2 cats. I’m originally from Massachusetts and I am a huge Red Sox fan!
