A FORMER MATH STUDENT WHO LACKED CONFIDENCE AND TOOK LITTLE OWNERSHIP OVER MY OWN LEARNING. 

 I WAS THE STUDDENT WHO SECOND-GUESSED EVERY ANSWER, WAITED FOR SOMEONE TO GO FIRST, AND WAS TOO AFRAID TO SPEAK UP. 

NOW A MIDDLE SCHOOL MATH TEACHER, IT IS MY MISSION TO CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE STUDENTS ARE EMPOWERED TO MAKE CHOICES IN THEIR LEARNING WHILE USING DATA TO DRIVE THEIR GROWTH. I WANT THEM TO LEAVE MATH CLASS NOT JUST WITH BETTER MATH SKILLS BUT WITH THE CONFIDENCE AND OWNERSHIP OF THEIR LEARNING THAT WILL LAST A LIFETIME.

H0W? 

BY DESIGNING ENGAGING, DIFFERENTIATED ACTIVITIES THAT BUILD STUDENT CONFIDENCE, FOSTER STUDENT AGENCY, AND MAKE LEARNING MEANINGFUL.
