I've developed many research based tools for learning and teaching and currently write assessments and curriculum for math based around the Common Core State Standards. I hope that you find these resources relevant to your needs!

Teaching style

My teaching style is hands-on, inquiry based techniques that are authentic and purposefully planned learning opportunities which are relevant to students knowledge and background. I believe all students should have the opportunity to access knowledge through rigorous instructional strategies that are scaffold which include the use of visible thinking and writing across the curriculum through integrated learning opportunities.
