About Dr. Jenny K. Tsankova
​
I believe all children can learn mathematics. More than that, I am convinced that all children can learn mathematics well and that they are capable of rigorous problem solving, creative thinking, and thoughtful mathematics discourse.
​
As teachers, we are blessed to give our students the gifts of learning and to create environment in the classroom where they enjoy discovery and persevere when wrestling with challenging problems.
​
A teacher's work is never done. A teacher cares, plans thoughtfully, tries different strategies, reflects, and then tries again. I am thankful to all great teachers in my life who still make my work everything I dreamed of. I am also thankful for all great students in my life who still teach me mathematics and never let me grow old!
