TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have taught for 14 years in a secondary public school where classes are heterogeneously mixed (for example: in one Algebra 1 class, I had 7th-11th grade with special education students). I have my National Board Certification and a Masters in Education for secondary math education. I have taught Introduction to High School Math, Integrated Math 1 and 2, Algebra 1, Advanced Functions and Modeling, PreCalculus, 8th grade math, and the first year of the Common Core Curriculum.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I believe in facilitating instruction through cooperative group work with investigative and discovery based learning.
