My experiences in Georgia and our district since 2005 as we implemented Performance Based Standards have served to reinforce my belief that all students can learn and do mathematics. This knowledge and experience places me in a position to assist, guide, and support others as we begin nationwide implementation of Common Core State Standards. I believe that all students can learn and do mathematics when teachers employ the appropriate strategies, support, and pacing. Consequently, supporting the National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics' vision of equity and access for all students is aligned with my beliefs and experiences. I will embed this vision in interactions and presentations whenever and wherever possible. My support is steadfast for vertical teaming among teachers to ensure students and teachers are consistently prepared for the next academic level.

When I was named the High School Mathematics Coordinator for the DeKalb County School District, I received a membership in the Georgia Council of Supervisors of Mathematics (GCSM) organization. I joined the National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics because it was recommended to me by several members of GCSM. My NCSM membership has provided a wealth of information, guidance, and support about being an effective mathematics leader, I have especially appreciated the Leadership Academies.
