Yang Cao 曹杨

Yang joined PKS in 2016 after earning her Master’s in Education from the University of Rochester. She holds both Multiple Subject and Single Subject teaching credentials in California. Because she didn’t grow up in a learning environment where everyone felt empowered in math, Yang is especially committed to creating one now—where all students feel seen, supported, and confident as mathematical thinkers. She works across grade levels to help design joyful, inclusive, and meaningful math learning experiences. A world traveler and lifelong learner, Yang models risk-taking and growth in her own life. Despite not being a confident swimmer, she’s taken on surfing and scuba diving to face her fear of the ocean—bringing that same spirit of curiosity and courage into her work with students and teachers every day.
