My Teaching Experience

10 years teaching experience in all classes from Pre-Algebra through AP Calculus III. Recently I have been working with integrating interactive technology into the math classroom. This inlcludes an interactive whiteboard, wireless writing pads (4 in the class) and individual student response devices to allow for instantaneous anonymous feedback on a topic.

My Teaching Style

I believe in teaching both the theory with the math but also practical real-world uses of the current topic. These include a project with cryptology utilizing matrix multiplication, land navigation and trigonometry, and projectile motion and basic quadratics, to name a few. I also believe technology is important in education but should enhance a curriculum, not overpower it.
