Teaching style
I am a firm believer in discovery and inquiry lessons. My question at the end of every lesson is: Who Did the Math? If it wasn't the students, it wasn't a great lesson!
My own education history
I have a Ph.D. in Education from Claremont Graduate University.
Additional biographical information
