Dr. Arno is one of the most compassionate people I know.
She cares deeply for the students she serves and for the professional development of her staff. Her command for curriculum development, integrates contemporary technology and other inter-disciplinary areas, finding many avenues to connect with a child.

Dawn organized and ran the Math Buddies and Zankel fellows programs
During that time I had the pleasure of working with her and supporting the technology she used. She demonstrated an amazing organizational ability and was able to make good things happen that benefited not only students learning math but also the teacher ed students who supported them. She has a deep and working understanding of what comprises effective pedagogy and employed technology and other tools to really engage students. It's unusual to find someone so knowledgeable regarding theory of education who is also so competent at practicing invoking those theories to best effect.

One of the things that I was very encouraged by was that there was almost an equal number of girls and boys and the girls were equally as engaged as the boys if not more so and I loved that.
