Class Description:
Algebra and Pre Cal are high school level courses that are appropriate for 9th to 11th grade students. The major focus of the course is to expose students to design process, engineering and math standards, research and analysis, technical documentation, global and human impacts, communication methods, and teamwork. This class gives students the opportunity to develop skills and understanding of course concepts through activity-, project-, and problem-based (PBL, PrBL) learning. Used in combination with a teaming approach, Project Based Learning challenges students to continually hone their interpersonal skills, creative abilities and understanding of the design process. It also allows students to develop strategies to enable and direct their own learning, which is the ultimate goal of education.

My Philosophy:
My goal is to inspire our youth and empower them with the knowledge and thinking skills to impact future generations. I have the goal to teach and to use math and engineering in context with the world students live in. I feel using a combined design thinking and PBL model will prepare and enable students with the thinking processes to become well equipped for college, career, and civic life. This is a model I believe in, and the PBL research shows that it works. I'm looking forward to making a difference in the lives of all my students.
