Interview on 11/6/2024:  
Computer Science/Advanced Math Teacher

I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to interview with you today! Please feel free to look through this specially designed page created to show you that I really love computers. Currently, I work for Procore Technologies. They are a construction technology company. And I'm excited to talk about the opportunity to mix my education experience and technical background for the students at Abramson.

​Data. Instruction. Culture. 

Data

Every class, there is data to collect. 
  1. ​Do Nows
  2. Observational Data
  3. Exit Tickets
  4. ​Assessments

Instruction

Instruction must be:
  1. Aligned to standards
  2. Differentiated
  3. Rigorous 
  4. Culturally Appropriate

Culture

Procedures and routines must be practiced consistently all year. Culture begins with me. I am expected to be engaged and excited about the material. Students are expected to follow class and school rules.
