cheesemonkeysf
Math teacher, writer, Buddhist, NPR commentator, Desmos Fellow. Focusing on gifted edu for culturally & linguistically diverse students. I would like for math teachers to feel less alone.

"Hatred never ceases by hatred but by love alone is healed. This is an ancient and eternal law." -- Buddha, Dhammapada

INQUIRY & TEACHING INTERESTS:
multicultural gifted edu; equitable exploratory talk in math (esp. Talking Points); intrinsic motivation & flow with an emphasis on joy (à la Dan Pink's Drive); developmental psychology of secondary math students; sparking engagement through authentic understanding; restorative practices.
