About Cheryl
Cheryl Cook graduated from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, in May 2002 with a Degree in Engineering Physics and a minor in Math. She later pursued a Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering at Ohio State University, where she graduated in 2004. Cheryl embarked on her 19-year career at Lawrence School in Cleveland, Ohio. Lawrence School specializes in serving students with learning differences, such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and ADHD.
At Lawrence, Cheryl initially taught upper-level math and science before transitioning to an administrative role as the Upper School Academic Dean. During her tenure as Academic Dean, she focused on curriculum development, instructional methods, and assessment for students in grades 7-12.
In March 2023, Cheryl and a group of colleagues founded the Association of LD Schools (ALDS). ALDS is dedicated to supporting schools with a mission similar to Lawrence’s. Cheryl now holds the position of Executive Director within the association.
Cheryl has always been passionate about helping students with learning differences and is strongly interested in finding math instructional strategies that work for this population. She has presented numerous times at conferences all across the country.
Outside of her professional life, Cheryl enjoys traveling, watching sports, and camping with her husband and three boys.
