About the store
I started teaching in the 1996-1997 school year at a rural school in east central Ohio. While there, I taught business math, elementary algebra 1 & 2, and geometry. I came to my current school in the 1999-2000, started with calculus, pre-calc, trigonometry and algebra 1. over the years I've changed the math classes I've taught, even threw in a few middle school reading classes along the way. Math is my absolute favorite. I currently teach geometry, integrated 3, and algebra 3. No matter what I've been teaching, I've loved it.

A friend got me hooked... gave me one little program, I started reading the manual to figure out how to do more with programs. It's great for students who have an interest in programming, also for students who get done fast or want something more to do. Of course I do not give them programs that do what we are currently learning, just for what we've already learned. If you've got some high achievers I hope they have as much fun with this as I did. Pretty awesome, some of the things you can do

Teaching style
I started in the era of lecture and example. I wish I could say that I've got the project performance thing completed nailed, but I don't. I keep trying, but I'm never quite satisfied with my work so I'm always try to improve on it.
Awards & shining teacher moments
None of my honors/awards came with evidence, really. I was asked by the senior class of 2007 to be the graduation speaker, I am facebook friends with a lot of my former students who still ask me for help now and then, Had the privilege of working with some of the best math educators in the country through a local college.
