Katherine Delvaux has taken her teaching talents all over the country—from Alaska, Florida, Massachusetts, to New Jersey, where she now calls the Carroll Robbins Elementary School community home. Originally teaching second and third grade, she has since transitioned to the first grade team, where she teaches multilingual learners in a co-teaching classroom. Collaborating with Carroll Robbins’ Spanish and English dual language immersion teachers, Delvaux develops her students’ English language reading, writing, and overall confidence with the language. Using small groups, she differentiates instruction to match each student’s comprehension level. Delvaux inspires students to take ownership of their learning goals and track progress, leading a data-driven classroom. Her students stay engaged with accessible, relevant activities like authoring their own vocabulary-focused “I Spy” books, recording retellings of their favorite stories, and writing digital postcards to students in London and Norway.
Passionate about classroom technology integration, Delvaux is an Apple Vanguard Team member, allowing her to train in Apple’s latest platforms and implements them throughout Carroll Robbins as part of her role on the innovation team. She leads professional development for her colleagues, spearheads the use of iPads at school, and presented nationally in 2026 for Apple Education Stories of Success. Additionally, Delvaux sits on the school leadership team and Leader in Me Lighthouse team, where she works with third grade student ambassadors on morning announcements.
Delvaux is dedicated to making students and families feel welcome at Carroll Robbins. She consistently works to better her Spanish language skills and has attended a summer teaching exchange program in Costa Rica for Spanish teaching immersion. She is a member of the school’s intervention and referral services team, where she identifies and develops intervention plans for students and communicates frequently with families. Also a member of the climate and culture team, she helped create the school mural, leads Student of the Month recognitions, and promotes attendance celebrations.
Delvaux earned a Bachelor of Arts in theatre performance in 2009 from the University of Alaska Fairbanks and a Master of Education in elementary education in 2014 from Boston University.
