Cathy Novelo

My name is Cathy Novelo. I feel happy and honored to serve as an Instructional Coach at Willard. I was born and raised in Pasadena and went to PUSD schools. I have been an educator for PUSD for 27 years and that’s not counting the years I worked as an Instructional aide! I love what I do and I am grateful to serve the Willard community.

I believe in the whole child: body, mind, and spirit. Most of my day is spent on helping children at Willard to sort out their feelings, difficulties they are experiencing, and making connections socially, emotionally, cognitively, so they can put their best foot forward in the classroom.

I have been working in education for over 20 years. I began my career in education as a substitute teacher for LAUSD, where I also worked as an intervention teacher. This is my ninth year teaching at Willard Elementary. I am passionate about helping students learn and grow, and it is a joy to work at Willard among a supportive community of administrators, teachers, staff, and families. I am also a wife and mother of two wonderful teenagers. I love reading, vacationing, and spending time with my family.
