Providing both a snapshot of my present teaching practice and a framework
for the ongoing process of reflection, revision, and revitalization,
this portfolio will provide you, the reader, with an overview of my
professional life.
Based on the Adolescence/Young Adulthood Mathematics
standards developed by the National
Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS), the entries
contained herein highlight my previous training and experience, my
current work as a teacher, and my future goals and objectives.
As this projectmuch like the practice of teaching itselfis
organic, constantly evolving, and never complete, you are invited to
revisit these pages on a regular basis and to accompany me on my professional
journey.
