I believe that math is something that will continually be used throughout the lifespan. I want my scholars to be able to use and interpret math in their everyday life. I believe that scholars need specific guidelines and structures in order to be successful.

I believe scholars should be actively engaged in rigorous and meaningful work. In order to see this inside the classroom, teachers should plan and support productive struggle.

I believe that every student that walks into a math class already has the potential to be successful in learning mathematics. All they need is encouragement, motivation, and a push! I envision those beliefs coming to life in the classroom with encouragement and motivation along with constructive feedback.

I believe that math is fun yet challenging. Initially there is an apprehension that causes people to be afraid and think things are unsolvable. I want to demolish that stigma and give scholars different tools and strategies to persevere through the difficulties.

Math is a vital component to success in any academic pursuit, whether it be standardized exams, college, or even managing personal finances. It is universally applicable. I see these applications playing a big role in my classroom as I use real world examples and instances to educate scholars.

I believe that all scholars can learn math, but it may take additional time and resources to help some students accomplish that. Gradually over time, scholars can develop the necessary skills and build their confidence to move forward on their own and take ownership of their own learning.

I believe that if you work hard enough and encourage a scholar they can come from behind grade level to on grade level in one year. I know because I've done it. It's hard work but so worth it.

In class I hope to see students engaging in productive struggle and happy about it.
