Hi everyone,
I am currently completing my fifth year of teaching at Greenville Public Schools. I graduated from Central Michigan (may 2006) with a secondary education degree in the fields of mathematics, chemistry and physics. I was hired at Greenville in June 2006, which I was pretty excited about espically since I missed my interview and figured I was heading out of state to find a job (Opps). During my five years I have taught from algebra to AP Calculus. The AP Calc course was taught this last year, and I am very proud of this because it is the first time that AP Calc has been taught at Greenville, and I develope the program and I guess survived through the first year of it. Along with teaching math, I have also taught physics. This brought up a dilema for me last year as I had the option of taking over the physics program, or stay with math. Happily I choose to stay with math.
Along with teaching I have been very active coaching at greenville. I have coached football (Freshman head coach - 5 years), wrestling (Assistant Head Coach - 5 years) and baseball (freshman head coach - 4 years). This past spring I had to drop baseball so I could focus on completing my masters (Only way I could take this course). During my coaching time here at Greenville I have been apart of their first ever State Championship (Wrestling 2008) and their first Runner Up in state (Wrestling 2011).
Overall I love what I do here at Greenville. The kids are great hard working students and the faculty works well together to make it possibly for all students to learn. Greenville is a place I would like to spend the rest of my days teaching, jsut hope the budget cuts do not make me look elsewhere.

Did you do any conferences or training for AP calc? Did you have someone to mentor you?
