Located on the west side of Chicago, Edward K “Duke” Ellington Elementary School is part of Chicago’s Public School system of education. Ellington’s Middle School, provides inquiry based instruction through it’s IB based Middle Years Programme (MYP). My 8th Grade Algebra and Math classrooms are often the place where students learn that mathematics is not to be feared. Through math play, hands on learning, and collaboration, my students are learning to think critically and communicate effectively. Through Civics and Social Studies, my students are learning to become positive civic actors and participant effectively in their communities and society. I work to help my students set and focus on their educational goals as they battle the daily challenges of living in this complex and struggling community. My ultimate goal is to prepare my students for a successful future.
