TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I started teaching in Richmond, Virginia in August of 2020! I've taught Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra Functions & Data Analysis, and Algebra 2 over the course of my career. Within these classes, I've taught collaborative sections, general sections, and honors sections.

MY TEACHING STYLE

The majority of my teaching experience has been with struggling learners; therefore, I teach with an eye towards universal design. I try to design my class to be inclusive and inviting, with easy access points to all mathematical topics. Additionally, I consistently use scaffolded notes to help students make explicit connections and provide a reference sheet as they begin group or independent work. In order to keep the class engaging, I use many different types of activities, like around the room, scavenger hunt, task cards, matching/sorting, and other types of group work.
