Ms. Cherry Dellios
Entering her 23rd year of teaching, Ms. Dellios has been a parent advocate of gifted education for over 15 years. She is a member of the National Association of Gifted Children, The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the Arizona Association for Gifted and Talented where she was nominated Teacher of the Year 2010.
Ms. Dellios holds a Bachelor of Science degree, a post bachelorette certification in Elementary Education, a Master of Education degree and specialists endorsements in Gifted and Structured English Immersion. She has taught preschool through fifth grades, a 1st-3rd grade multi-age class, worked as a teacher mentor and instructional coach and has trained several schools in the Tribes program. Ms. Dellios currently designs and teaches the curriculum for the first and second grade multi-age classroom at the Renaissance Gifted Academy at Esperanza Elementary in the Deer Valley Unified School District.
An Arizona native, Ms. Dellios has also lived in California and New York City. She left her first career in the fashion industry to pursue a career in education shortly after the birth of her daughter, Danielle. She knew she wanted to make a change when she found herself pouring over education books instead of fashion magazines. She enjoys traveling and has spent time in Canada, Mexico, Jamaica, England, France and Italy. Most important to her are her family and friends and having grand conversations with her students.
