4th and 5th grade math and science classroom teacher for 6 years Math Specialist and Math Resource K-5 for 2 years Math Coach for 3 years
I believe in conceptual teaching. I want my students to be thinkers, not "compute"rs. I think students working cooperatively on differentiated tasks while utilizing Accountable Talk is one way that I push the rigor daily. My passion for math is infections to the kids, my goal is for everyone to love math as much as I do by the time they leave my classroom.
