• I work with elementary, middle and high school teachers to improve the scope and sequence of their instructional plans, to create opportunities for learners at different readiness levels to be supported and challenged, and to improve teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge, teaching strategies and manner of delivery. I model lessons, co-teach classes, and facilitate discussions among teachers on important mathematical and curricular issues.
