Teaching
is the ultimate calling. Teaching is an honor, an art, a joy, a science,
a vocation, an avocation, and an obsession. As a fourth generation teacher
on both sides of my family, sharing my passion is a genetic predisposition.
I have taught in middle schools, high schools and universities. For six years I was the mathematics consultant for the Missouri Department of Education. As a researcher my primary interests lie in using technology effectively in the mathematics classroom and assessing mathematics achievement. Currently I am a professor of mathematics education at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Tennessee. Here I work with preservice teachers of mathematics in our fifth year internship program and serve as the primary advisor of doctoral students in mathematics education.
