PROFESSOR, MATHEMATICS EDUCATION
COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, HEALTH AND HUMAN SCIENCES
THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE-KNOXVILLE
These are difficult times for classroom teachers. We must be ready to support, assist, compliment, and encourage every day.
Teaching is the ultimate calling and as a fourth generation teacher on both sides of my family, I consider sharing that passion as a genetic predisposition. I hold teaching, principal, and superintendent licensures from Missouri and have taught mathematics in middle schools, high schools, and universities. For six years I was the mathematics consultant for the Missouri Department of Education. During this time I learned of NCSM. This organization and its members have helped me be successful as a mathematics educator.
