I would like to join a Middle School mathematics team that shares my philosophy.  I believe that the Middle School transition from elementary to higher-level mathematics is the perfect time to instill a lifelong love of math and learning in naturally curious minds.  I use a blend of cooperative learning, technology-enhanced projects, hands-on manipulation, concrete skill acquisition, and mathematical communication; with a focus on higher-level thinking skills and real-world applications. 

You can find my detailed online resume here on my webpage, or look at the printable PDF version here.

Find out more about what my classroom is like at my classroom website. Make sure you look at the daily classroom calendar - it's been very successful at allowing parents of my students to get an overview of what their children are learning in math class. On this site, you can get an idea of some of the hands-on techniques and collaborative projects my students engage in by looking at the photo gallery.
