Back to All Education, Mathematics Spotlights

This is my third year at Clarkstown South High School in West Nyack, New York. I received tenure which I was very excited about. I also received a grant for “Math Bingo” which is a game I implement in my classroom in order to help students review material in a more fun and exciting way.

I am currently attending St. Thomas Aquinas College getting my master’s in special education. I have a year left before I complete the program.

I think that the most important thing I learned from the math department at St. Mike’s was the willingness of the professors to help students at any time. I think that many math professors at St. Mike’s have a open-door policy. Although every professor has specific office hours I could get help at any time of any day as long as I asked for help. I carried this into my teaching career and I try to be as available to my students as often as possible because I think that fostering relationships with students is a major key to academic success.
