I have been an educator for 28 years. I have served as a teacher and administrator. I love teaching the most! Currently, I teach middle school math with the Chicago Public Schools.
I provide hands-on, differentiated Math instruction along with project-based learning opportunities for students. I like to use the new Bloom's Taxonomy when I design units of study. This way, my students' higher order thinking skills are engaged while they construct knowledge through socializing with their peers. Moreover, I make sure my students become teachers of the content they learn.
