Madeline demonstrates creativity and innovation in the classroom and goes above and beyond to edit and add lessons and activities to better meet the needs of students. She is gifted in taking abstract ideas of all levels of mathematics and analyzing each component into teachable parts. She then masterfully leads students to synthesize that information back together for a thorough understanding of the concepts. Her commitment to her students is evidenced in her results. Her Algebra 1 students performed above the district and state averages, and 80% of the summer school students enrolled in her Algebra remediation class passed the state STAAR exam. Madeline’s AP Calculus students scored above the district, state and “global” scores and included a higher overall percentage of students taking the exam.
