Cross Country Skiier - Explaining Slope Concepts
Memory picture for linear slopes. The story: You are going skiing. The beginning of the trip is positive, lots of positive excitement. Then the waiting begins, boring, zero excitement. Once on the slopes, you realize how hard it is, negative excitiment! Finally, you fall off the cliff and are "undefined!"

Weekly Warm-up Record Sheet
This is just a simple form I give my students at the beginning of the week for their warm-ups. At the end of the week, they turn it in. It makes grading easier and allows for easier organization on my part. I don't have to worry about torn out spiral pages or students who don't come to class prepared to find paper. I also have a place they can leave it so it doesn't get lost during the week.

Experience
I have been teaching for 22 years. The last 20 years have been on the high school level teaching mathematics. I have also taught College Algebra and Statistics.
Teaching style
To be honest, I don't have one teaching style. I use a variety of methods in order to reach my students. It just depends. I do believe all willing students learn. Unwilling students are the challenges we as teachers face. I'm just not the type of teacher to give up on them. I want to be the teacher they need and continue needing in their lives as they move on in the world. It's always a pleasure to hear from my previous students.

My own education history
I began college full-time in 1999 with two small children. (Aaron 2, Lucas 4 months) I took 52 hours that year. It really seems like a blur looking back. I finished my Bachelors in August of 2000 with an emphasis on Early Childhood. My first job was Special Ed in grades Pre-K through 8th. I moved out of Special Ed into 3rd grade. (not my favorite year) Doing so provided me the opportunity to gain my Masters in Public School Mathematics in 2006. I kept going and earned my Principal's certification.
I believe I'm two courses short of my Masters in Mathematics.
Additional biographical information
I have been married to the love of my life for 27 years. Lee and I have three boys. Aaron is 25, Lucas is 24, and Samuel is 21.
We also have our dog, Fred, and cat, Smokey.
We enjoy fishing and remodeling stuff.
I personally enjoy watching hummingbirds and other wildlife and photography outside of teaching mathematics.
