TECHNOLOGY:
  I have been working on my website www.MATHguide.com for over twenty years! The website offers free mathematics education lessons, quizmasters, and videos.

INTRODUCTION:
  I am approaching three decades as an educator and have extensive experiences at the high school level. They include teaching mathematics, keeping students safe as a dean of students, and working to ensure quality education as an assistant principal. In my spare time, I thoroughly enjoy factual discussions on every imaginable topic there is to talk about.

BELIEF STATEMENTS:
  I believe in high standards, which means I pursuade teachers to use research driven methodologies to create positive educational environments. It means pushing students, educational policies, and parents to work cooperatively in the best interest of the entire community. Not only can all students learn; all students WANT to learn.

PEDAGOGY:
  I value Polya's problem solving techniques, Vygotsky's zone of proximal development, and harnessing the power of student discourse. I would like to learn more about the Socratic method to entice student discourse, curiosity, and critical thinking. There is great value with standards-based grading and standardized tests.
