Back to All Education, Mathematics Spotlights

I am in my second year of teaching at Franklin Academy, a private boarding school in East Haddam, CT. Franklin Academy is a school for students 8-12 grade who have been diagnosed with autism or nonverbal learning disabilities. I get to teach four math classes at varying levels as well as several theater classes throughout the year. I am currently teaching Linear Functions, Functions and Modeling, Introduction to Algebraic Reasoning, and Basic Math Skills.

St. Michael’s College prepared me in many ways for teaching Mathematics. I was able to learn about many different facets of math which I know use as background knowledge in my lessons, particularly for eager and excited students. This has also helped me work with students with varied math backgrounds, some of which are positive while other are not so much. Most importantly, St. Mike’s encouraged me to become a lifelong learner through the passion of the professors and the supportive community.
