Career changer committed to improving educational outcomes for all children. |
Educational Background
This is my 15th year as a math teacher. I have taught at both the middle and high school levels. I am a former marketer who transitioned to teaching via the NYC teaching fellows program. I earned a Bachelor of Science in economics (marketing concentration) from the University of Pennsylvania, a Master's in Business Administration from the University of Michigan and a Master's in Math Education from Lehman College. Classroom Goals My goal is to maintain high standards for each student and equip them with the skills to be successful. The classes will focus on helping students to develop critical thinking skills and make cross-curricular connections. Each class will incorporate discovery based learning and incorporate the use of technologies such as Geometer's sketchpad and TI-84 graphing calculators. Several performance tasks/projects will be assigned during the year. In addition, the students will produce a math journal. Personal On a personal level, I enjoy photography, world travel and gardening. You can view some of my favorite travel photos below. I am an avid music lover (various genres) and love the performing arts. I am also a four year breast cancer survivor. |
