Clare Roach
Institute for Educational Initiatives, University of Notre Dame
I share my time between the University of Notre Dame’s Institute for Educational Initiatives and a K–8 school in South Bend, Indiana. I am also a mother of four school-aged children. My roles as parent and educator intersect in my volunteer position as coordinator for the after-school enrichment program at my children’s school.
