About the store
I have been teaching high school mathematics for eight years, everything from Applied Mathematics to Pre-Calculus. For the past 5 years I have specialized in teaching mathematics to students at-risk for school failure or with special needs. I have presented at local and regional conferences for the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM); The International Council for Learning Disabilities Annual Conference; The Annual Conference on Collaborative Teaching; and conducted local professional development sessions.

Experience
I have been teaching high school mathematics for eight years, everything from Applied Mathematics to Pre-Calculus. For the past 5 years I have specialized in teaching mathematics to students at-risk for school failure or with special needs. I have presented at local and regional conferences for the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM); The International Council for Learning Disabilities Annual Conference; The Annual Conference on Collaborative Teaching; and conducted local professional development sessions.
Teaching style
I work primarily with at-risk learners. Many of them have learning disabilities or for a variety of reasons do not have sound foundational math skills. I break concepts into smaller skills and steps and make use of color, manipulatives, and physical movement.
In short, I try to make math FUN for students who have developed a hatred for it.

My own education history
BA in Mathematics and English, University of North Dakota, 1996; BSEd in Secondary Education, University of North Dakota, 2000; MAEd in Curriculum & Instruction with a concentration in Special Education and Collaborative Teaching, The College of William & Mary, 2007
Additional biographical information
My research interests focus on making higher mathematics accessible to at-risk students by stressing foundational competencies, developing learning and behavioral strategies, and by using engaging activities and solid instructional strategies. "It's in the Cards", an article detailing a classwide management tool designed to increase academic behaviors in at-risk students is in press with Intervention in School and Clinic.
