It is my belief that my students must first see themselves as learners, “doers”, and even teachers of mathematics to feel truly empowered by their mathematics learning and to apply what they have learned outside of my classroom. My most important work then is to help a student to find and build a mathematics identity that is positive and empowering. One way I try to do this is through amplifying and celebrating student voice and thinking.

Ms. Kate

This is my 10th year teaching at Interagency and my 23rd year teaching math. It is an honor, a privilege, and a source of joy to teach and learn with my students.
