I am currently serving as the Math Instructional Coach at my middle school in Texas. I recently obtained my masters in Math Curriculum and Instruction, and have been teaching grades 6 - Algebra 1 for 8 years. One of my favorite parts of teaching is developing curriculum that is viable, applicable, and engaging!
Organized chaos... I love when learners are free to discover something on their own rather than receiving it through direct instruction. While direct instruction is sometimes unavoidable in Math, it is WAY easier and MUCH more engaging when the kids have already explored part of it on their own! Learners then have a context and a lens to look through that would not have existed had they not done some exploration on their own.
Apple Teacher,
I graduated from Berkner High School in Richardson ISD in Texas, gained my BS in Middle School Math Education from Abilene Christian University, and then gained my Masters in Math Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Texas at Arlington.
Love the Lord, love my husband, love my son, love my dog, love Math!
