Hello! I am Brooklyn Hunt. I am from Salt Lake City, Utah and I am in the middle of my second year teaching 9th grade math at a Title 1 high school in a neighboring city. I say "9th grade math" because my state has adopted the Integrated Common Core Standards which means I teach a little bit of everything each year. The primary focus is on algebra skills (some from Algebra 1, some from Algebra 2) but statistics and geometry are also included in our content for the year. I am the lead of our Freshman Academy, which is our schools committee of freshman teachers. Entering this program as a nearly brand new teacher has been intimidating but helpful. I am excited to learn more about how I can better teach geometry and measurement. The picture is of my husband and me visiting Snow Canyon in Southern Utah last weekend.

Hi everyone! My name is Lindsey Kyle and I am currently teaching 4th grade in Lafayette, Indiana. This is my 8th year of teaching! 6 years in 4th grade and 2 years in 3rd.
I am currently part of my Curriculum Team at my school, and would love to continue to build upon that experience.
I've taken a step back from the other committees I was in because I'm currently planning a wedding. Between Masters work and planning, it was just a little too difficult to manage time wise. I'm greatly looking forward to stepping back into those roles though! I was previously the Battle of the Books coach, STEM coach, and helped with the Green Club.

Hello! My name is Susie Kessler and I am a 3rd grade teacher in at a charter school in New Orleans. This is my 10th year teaching, and this school year I moved into an interventionist and teacher leader position so I could gain more experience coaching. I had been teaching 3rd grade math for 5 years, and now I do more support and model teach math lessons at least once per week. I also pull reading intervention groups so my schedule is all over the place any given day! I love elementary math and I'm grateful I have the opportunity to do more with math. I enjoy cooking, live music, and traveling in my free time!

Hey there! My name is Benjamin Rodriguez and I'm an 8th grade math teacher in Austin, TX. I teach in a charter system called Harmony Public Schools, where I coach a MathCounts competition team. My favorite part about my job is learning from others around me. Sharing ideas and evening competing with my colleagues is something that I feel makes teaching exceedingly rewarding. I'm competitive and and I like the challenge people around me. I love being in this program because there is wealth of new ideas to be learned and shared.

Hi everyone! My name is Rachel and I am currently teaching at a high school in Indianapolis. I am in my 7th year teaching and this year I am teaching Geometry and Honors Geometry. I love to run and was an assistant coach for cross country the past three years but took a break this year to start this program. Fun fact: my husband and I are both teachers so on our breaks we like to travel to the National Parks. We have been to 17 so far. The picture above is from Yosemite!

Hello everyone! My name is Bryce Eckenrode, and I am an 8th grade Pre-Algebra teacher in Central Pennsylvania. On top of teaching, I am also the director of my middle school's musical, which is a program that I started back up last year after 15 years! This is only my second year of teaching, so I am still learning a lot about the responsibilities that come with the job. Next year, I should be starting to take over a couple sections of the Algebra students as well, so I am excited to take on a different challenge. I am looking forward to learning with you all throughout this course!
