TEACHING EXPERIENCE

"I didn't always love math. In fact, while I was pretty good at the subject, no classroom ever made numbers useful for me. When I dove headlong into the classroom, I knew that loving math would be important for the success of my students. That first few years in elementary education became an adventure in making math useful and fun. Now, more than 2 decades later, my goal is to share solid, standards based methods to help you and your students engage with numbers and turn problem solving into project based learning with STEM."

MY TEACHING STYLE

Project and Inquiry Based Learning Focused on Problem-Solving STEAM and STEM Oriented (I did STEM long before the acronym.) Small Groups and Classroom Stations Positive Reinforcement and a "Laughing Classroom"
