Hi, my name is Megan Teschner and this is my second year teaching at Addams. I currently teach 710 and 810. I am hoping that through this boot camp I can learn new strategies to help engage my students in numeracy and help develop their number sense.

Hi.  My name is Jenifer Feilen and I am an SST at Keller. I co-teach 810 and teach 8th grade math acceleration.  I have been teaching at Keller since 2005 and I have taught self contained and co-taught math, social studies, science and language arts.  I am hoping to learn new types of numeracy to use with my math acceleration classes.

Hi All! Sorry I'm late to the game, I am just coming off of maternity leave. I am Mindy Szklennik and I am the 8th grade Math SST. I teach 4 math acceleration classes and push into 3 different 810 classes. In the boot camp, I am looking forward to finding new ways to engage my MAA in numeracy and helping foster a better mathematical conversation with them more regularly.

My name is Laura Robinson and I teach math at Addams. I currently teach 810 & 715. I am looking forward to being apart of this numeracy boot camp. In 810, our PLC often gives Google Forms at the beginning of class to start the students off. While this was great for the teachers, we noticed a drop in engagement and overall math discussion in the class. The participation was originally there when students were excited about using the Chromebooks but now I am looking to find new, creative, innovative ways to give numeracy.

My name is Dana Feeney and this is my 5th year teaching math at Frost! I have taught 810, 710 and 715. I currently teach 710 and 715! My goal for this course is to get ideas of how to make numeracy more engaging for students. I also hope to learn more about how to bring experiences into the classroom that allow for students to make connections to the real world :)

My name is Carrie Felgenhauer, and this is my 20th year teaching math at Frost! I have taught every level (except Geo) however the last 12 years has been 710, 715, and now this year I am also doing 810 Acceleration. I am really excited for this class because numeracy is so important. I love hearing the math talk between the students however I struggle making it short and meaningful!

My name is Michelle Truax, and I teach 930, Geo, 810, and 6th grade math at Lincoln Prairie. This is my 6th year teaching, and I feel like I've gotten into a rut with my numeracy development/number talks. I'm hoping to get better at creating more engaging, thought provoking, and applicable number talks :)

My name is Nicole Nelson, and I am a special ed. teacher at Eisenhower. I co-teach 710, as well as teach 7th grade math acceleration. I've been at Ike for 11 years now, and I'd like to make numeracy more fun and engaging for my acceleration students, so I am excited to learn more about implementing numeracy and get more ideas on what to implement.

My name is Chris Morris and I teach Geometry and 710 at Frost Junior High. This is my third year teaching math. My goal for this class is to collaborate with my PLC during this course and to generate new ideas for our PLC. Additionally, I want to help my students with their number sense while making it fun for them.

My name is Tricia Leong and I am one of the math department chairs at Frost Junior High. This is my 13th year at Frost and I teach both 710 and 810 math acceleration. I spend a lot of time planning with the 710 and 810 teams as well as our acceleration teams, so my goal for this class is to bring the ideas that we learn back to the teams during planning. Since a lot of my PLC members are taking this course, I look forward to collaborating with them in regards to what we learn from everyone else!

My name is Christina Hibbitts and I am a self-contained ASD teacher at Keller. This is my 10th year teaching ASD. We tried to aim for a more "junior high" experience for our students so this year I am teaching math to most of the students in our program. I have a wide variety of students that I work with ranging from students who are just beginning their numeracy development to students who are learning 7th grade material.

From this class, I really hope to take away a strong structural system that I can have in place in all of my math sections in order to incorporate numeracy. I also hope to have a general understanding of the scope and sequence of numeracy development so I can help all my students of varying levels.

I'm Amy Varchmin, Instructional Math Coach.  This is my eighth year as a coach, but my first time leading an online course for the Department of Teaching and Learning.  Numeracy development time is my favorite part of the Balanced Framework because of the opportunities students have to talk about math, make sense of numbers, and see math in the everyday world.  I have been amazed by students at all grade levels as they share strategies and how they progress in skills throughout grade levels.

From this class, I hope to connect with teachers who want to see the same in their students. I aim to provide resources, coaching, feedback, and collaboration with other teachers in this group.
