Experience

This is my 30th year in mathematics education. I currently teach 8th grade mathematics and have spent the majority of my career in middle school settings. Over the years, I’ve taught a wide range of courses including 5th grade self-contained, 6th grade math, pre-algebra, algebra, math intervention, and math enrichment. My experience reflects a deep commitment to supporting students at various levels of mathematical understanding.

Teaching style

Over the past two years, I have transformed my approach to teaching mathematics by fully embracing the Building Thinking Classrooms framework developed by Peter Liljedahl. My students work in small, randomly assigned groups at vertical whiteboards placed around the room. This method is the foundation of my instruction—not just an occasional problem-solving activity—and is used to deliver nearly all of the course content. The result is a vibrant classroom energized by music, movement, and deep mathematical thinking.
