This week course is designed to provide students with a basic understanding of Algebra 1 foundational concepts, as well as provide remediation for a struggling learner currently in this course of study. The course will cover topics including: Day 1: Solving Equations/Inequalities Day 2: Introduction to Functions & Polynomials Day 2: Linear Functions Day 3: Exponential Functions Day 4: Quadratic Functions Day 5: System of Equations ** I will teach using an Algebraic and Graphic approach to these topics. This course will be teacher led and could be taken prior to Algebra 1 course or after for remediation. At the conclusion of each class, each student will complete a short "exit slip" which will assess the daily concepts covered. We will go over after completing as a whole group, so the exit slip will provide quick feedback to the student, teacher, and parents. During the last week of the course students will have time to review ALL covered concepts from the previous weeks. At the conclusion of this course, students should be prepared with the major concepts that are covered in Algebra 1 class, which should help them be successful in an Algebra 1 class. Also this course could provide help the to a struggling learner in Algebra 1 gain a better understanding of topics that will help them prior to entering their next course of study.
Learning Goals

At the conclusion of this course:

Teacher expertise and credentials
Welcome to my profile! My name is Amber. I come to you from the great state of Ohio. DO I hear an “OH-IO! Go Buckeyes.”
I am a jack of many trades. The most important being ... “Wife” to an amazing man and “Mom” to our 4 crazy, awesome children, ages 23, 20, 17, and 13. I also am a full-time public high school Math Teacher, tutor, and at one time an online ESL teacher. The list doesn’t stop there… My husband and I also serve as pastors of a local church .
My love for teaching started at a very young age. I remember playing teacher all the time as a child. My first teaching experiences were teaching Sunday School and providing tutoring to elementary/middle school students while still in high school. After high school, I went on to obtain my Bachelor’s Degree from The University of Findlay in Mathematics (Secondary Education, grades 7 - 12). My husband and I returned to our hometown after receiving our teaching degrees to pursue teaching careers. I am currently starting my 25th year of teaching math at my hometown high school and my husband has since become the IT director for the district. Through the years, I have taught every level of math, including Pre-Algebra, Geometry, Algebra 2, PreCalculus, and AP Calculus AB/BC. While in the middle of my teaching career, I also went back to school to get my Master’s Degree for Walden University in Middle School Mathematics (grades 6-8). My credentials also span to obtaining more than 45+ graduate hours in various educational areas, including Personalized Learning, Classroom Management, How the Brain Works, Google Apps, Technology - Based classes, etc. I also serve as the high school’s LEO Club Co-advisor, which helps get our students involved in volunteering within both the school district and community, as well as serve as the Math Department Lead.
I also have experience teaching younger aged children. I just recently stepped down as the Lead Children’s Ministry Pastor after numerous years. During this time, I served as a curriculum administrator and developer, teacher, and nursery administrator for the children’s classes, ages newborn - 10. I developed curriculum for various ages and trained many new teachers, all while also teaching in the classroom or nursery. Also, I previously served as an Online ESL teacher at a well - known company, where I taught English to students ranging from ages 4 - 14, as well as providing tutoring at the local community center for all ages.
When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family. I enjoy watching my children, nieces, and nephews participate in competitive sports, including football, golf, soccer, basketball. By the way my nephew just became a "Buckeye." He has joined the OSU football team. As a family, we spend much of our summer months in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan at the lake house, where we love boating, wakeboarding, water - skiing, jet skiing, tubing, or just relaxing by the lake. Last, we also love Disney World! FAMILY is very important!
As a teacher… My passion is to make LEARNING FUN! I want my students to laugh and smile in class, all while learning at a high level with lots of rigor, stretch, complexity, and confidence! You COUNT With ME!
