I taught in NYC public schools for 9 years. I mostly taught high school math grades 9-12. Then I served as an education administrator for two years before heading back to school to earn my PhD. The materials I have posted on TPT were developed while I was teaching high school. I hope you find them to support your teaching.
I implement student-centered instruction. Students in my classes are given many choices and expected to provide feedback to guide future lessons. This adds to the rigor of learning high level mathematics.
My favorite teaching moments are when students visit after they graduate and ask me for help. They often regret not paying more attention while they were in my class, but I know they learned more than the subject area--they learned how to be resourceful and how to solve problems--even if they have to ask me for help to get it done.

In my limited free time, I enjoy spending time outdoors. I train in martial arts, and I teach martial arts on the weekends. My spouse and I have two furbabies that are pit bull mixes named Jagger and Thena.
