Fall 2011
School started in mid-August for most everyone here in Northern California. Even though we are still having HOT weather, there is the hope of cooler days to come and the excitement of fall celebrations. I hope you are having a great start for your school year and are planning to attend one of the mathematics conferences in...
I am so exited about starting this new position with NCSM as Director for the Western Region 2. I look forward to meeting many of you at the Oregon Math Leaders Conference in McMinnville, Oregon, in August and at the Northwest Mathematics Conference in Portland, Oregon, in October. Living in the northern part of California gives me the opportunity to visit Oregon and Washington as well as to travel south to attend events in California.
When I became President-Elect of the California Math Council-North, several members of the CMC State Board encouraged me to join NCSM for the resources and opportunities to learn about leadership in mathematics education. I have found the organization to be much more than I expected. When I became a mathematics coach, I looked to NCSM for ideas and training. The opportunities I have had to learn have been powerful and productive.
