I wanted to become a teacher to inspire others just like my teachers inspired me.”
Cassandra’s Story
Teaching Discipline
Mathematics
Why Mathematics
“Through my first year of teaching, I have noticed that students typically have either a positive or negative mindset about mathematics from past experiences. One of my main goals is to change that fixed mindset and get them to see that it is okay to challenge themselves with difficult tasks. I want to make sure that all of my students are confident in their mathematical abilities and are willing to try new things.”
