Having been a member of the PSSA Grade 5 Math Committee for ten years, I have first-hand knowledge of these types of assessments. Also available is a presentation on research-bases and provides a teaching format that allows teachers to work on basic fact mastery, practice mental computation skills, develop thinking skills, review past lessons, and introduce new skills - all within the traditional 45 - 60 minute daily math class. References available upon request. |

I run professional learning communities for my district. I am an AP Statistics reader, and have developed both the non-AP and AP Statistics
curricula in my district. My most recent presentations are on teaching sampling distributions. In addition, I have served as a reviewer for three different Statistics textbooks and have worked on a Graphing Calculator manual for one. My passion is improving teacher effectiveness in teaching Probability and Statistics. |
