Teachers have a right to teach.

                   Students have a right to learn.

     Welcome to the New Year!  I would like to tell you a little about myself.  I was born in Lynn Massachusetts and my parents moved here when I was 18 months old.  I consider myself a native of Arizona. I earned an AA from GCC and graduated from ASU West Campus with a BA in education.  My college emphasis was in mathematics.  I earned a math specialist certificate and a Middle School Math Endorsement from the Arizona Department of Education.  I have been teaching for 15 years predominantly on middle school settings.  This will be my 9th year hear at New World Educational Center.  

     I am looking forward to working with you and your child as we work towards becoming independent, responsible learners.  I have a strong passion for mathematics and my desire is to instill this passion for math in your child.  I believe that a child’s education needs to be a partnership between the parents, teachers and students and that every child can succeed and grow in their academics.  This year will be about having a lot of fun as we develop a deeper understanding of academic content. 

Student Expectations:

• Come to school everyday with a positive attitude.  A positive attitude can carry you far in life. 
• Students are expected to do their best and persevere in their academics.
• Students please ask for assistance, finish all assignments and turn them in in a timely manner.

• I will provide students with mathematical practice in order to create proficiency so all 8th graders are ready for the following year.
• I will provide students multiple opportunities to master content.
• I will collaborate with your child on a daily basis to achieve their academic goals.
