Experience Assistant Professor – University of North Carolina, Wilmington, Wilmington, NC Fall 2006 – Present As a member of the Elementary, Middle Level, and Literacy Education department, I teach the middle grades mathematics methods courses. I also supervise student teaching interns and teach a graduate level courses focusing on mathematical modeling and assessment in mathematics. E343 Associate Instructor – Indiana University, Bloomington, IN Fall 2005 The major foci of this elementary mathematics methods course were how elementary students learn mathematics and what can be done to create an environment that helps children develop and understand important mathematical concepts. Graduate Assistant IU-NAEP Focus II– Indiana University, Bloomington, IN Spring 2003 – Spring 2006 As a graduate assistant on this project, I worked with mathematics educators to develop professional development materials using data from the National Assessment for Educational Progress to encourage evidence-based practice. M201 Course Coordinator – Indiana University, Bloomington, IN Fall 2003 – Spring 2005 As course coordinator, I contacted elementary schools and worked with classroom teachers to schedule field experiences in their classrooms. In addition, I managed all sections of the course through weekly meetings and planning sessions with instructors. M201 Associate Instructor - Indiana University, Bloomington, IN 2002-2003, Fall 2005 As associate instructor, I observed elementary education students as they taught mathematics and science lessons to small groups of elementary students. I also provided written and oral feedback through reflections and debriefing sessions. High School Mathematics Teacher – West Vigo High School West Terre Haute, IN 1998-2002 At West Vigo I taught Basic Math, Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Algebra II, and Computer Programming to high school students. I also coached the mathematics contest teams. I was a class sponsor and a member of the school improvement committee. Middle School Mathematics Teacher – Woodrow Wilson Middle School Terre Haute, IN Spring 1998 I taught 7th and 8th Grade Mathematics and assisted with the MathCounts team.
