Math Specialist

"Learning how students think about math taught me how to provide one-on-one math intervention and prepared me to meet students where they're at. Throughout the math program, I had opportunities to expand my own math understanding as well, which I am excited to use in my planning and lesson development during my day-to-day classroom experiences with students."
