BiographyI started teaching in 1997 after receiving my Masters in the Arts of Teaching from the University of Puget Sound. I have been teaching at Pioneer Middle School since 2004.

ACADEMICS
Grading:
Pioneer Middle School is using Standards Based Grading for this Mathematics course.
Practice:I do not assign "homework." Assignments that are started in class may be finished outside of class if students need or want that time. This work should be brief unless your student decides they want to pursue the mathematical questions we are investigating more thoroughly. :) If a student chooses not to spend their time in class working on their assignments their time working out of class will be more extensive.
Generally, students should spend no more than 15-20 minutes finishing her/his Math assignments each evening. If your student worked on the assignment in the time given in class and has worked more than 20 minutes and he/she needs more time to finish the given assignment, please sign their paper and they will be given additional time to complete the work and to get additional help; the assignment in question will have an extended due date. Please let me know if family commitments or emergencies come up throughout the school year that cause your student to be unable to complete their assigned work, these things happen and I am happy to accommodate.Daily work that is complete by the assigned date will be stamped/checked off at the beginning of class the day it is due. Assignments will be corrected in-class students are responsible for scoring their work and asking for help if they do not understand errors that they may have made.
* Work that was completed on-time and has all corrections made will receive full credit.
* Work that is turned in late must be complete and corrected to receive credit.
* Assignments will only be accepted for during the unit in which it is assigned.
Students who do not have their practice completed will call home to inform their parents/care-takers that they were unprepared for class and may not receive full credit for their work.
