Hello! My name is Gina Armstrong and I am thrilled to be the new Instructional Coach at Jerry Walker Middle School. I obtained my bachelor’s degree from the University of Central Florida and later earned my Master of Science Degree in Education with a specialization in curriculum and instruction from Capella University. This year I will begin my 15th year in education.  

My earliest experience in teaching was at the high school level in Florida for six years.  I moved to Texas in 2012, where I joined the Little Elm ISD family at Lakeside Middle School where I taught various CTE courses and became the AVID elective teacher and coordinator.  While at Lakeside, I spent time as part of the PBIS committee, Electives department chair, Model Teacher Program and New Teacher Mentor program as well as completed the LEISD Aspiring Leaders Institute.  Outside of the classroom, I coached girls’ athletics in volleyball, basketball and track. During the 2017-2018 school year, I was honored and humbled to be named campus Teacher of the Year, as well as LEISD’s District Secondary Teacher of the Year.

As your instructional coach, my values of integrity and trustworthiness will guide our learning process together.  I truly believe that everyone can learn and succeed, with the right supports and systems in place. It is my goal to be a support, build intentional relationships that allow me to collaborate effectively, both inside and outside of the classroom. I will champion teachers as they build upon their own skills, expertise and capacity to provide high quality instruction to all students. It is my hope that we can continue building a culture of excellence, as a team, with all of the amazing teachers and administrators on our campus, as well as campuses across our district.

My name is Dalia Sandoval and I’m so excited to be back in Little Elm ISD as a bilingual instructional coach!  I’m an educator with twenty-three years of experience. This past year, I had the opportunity to serve my campus as an ESL interventionist/coach, and prior to that, I taught in different types of bilingual programs such as transitional early and late exit and one and two-way dual language.  I have a Bachelor’s in Interdisciplinary Studies with an endorsement in Bilingual/ESL and a Master’s in Bilingual/ESL with a minor in Educational Leadership.  I hold a Texas Certification in Bilingual/ESL 1st-8th grade.  As an instructional coach, I am looking forward to creating partnerships with my fellow bilingual educators and sharing research based strategies to help them grow in their capacity and thus improve our students’ linguistic and academic performance.  

Little Elm has been my home since 2001.  I live here with my husband Mac and our two kids, Marco and Melanie.  Both of our children have attended Little Elm ISD schools. Marco graduated from Little Elm High School and Melanie will be starting high school this coming fall.  I am so proud to be part of this amazing community and district!

I am happy to be a part of the FamiLE at Little Elm High School as the Math Instructional Coach- partnering with the teachers, the school and the district!

I have 20+ years in education from various states- California, Massachusetts, Colorado and our great state of Texas!  I have taught every level of math from math lab to AP Statistics as well as served on various school district committees.  In addition, I led education workshops in math/statistics, test prep, and study skills.  I have been previously-appointed on former Texas state review panels centered around math.  I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Master of Arts in Sociology (Quantitative Analysis) from Baylor University.  I also earned my Master of Arts in Teaching Mathematics Education from Clark University in Worcester, MA.

My family has loved being a part of Little Elm since 2013.  My husband of 20+ years and our pre-teen daughter enjoy riding our bicycles around the trails or walking around the Little Elm duck ponds.  Go Lobos!
