Kevin has been teaching 9-12 mathematics in an urban setting since 1998. He has taught at all levels of high school math from Algebra 1 through Calculus and Statistics. Kevin earned his MAT in Math Education from American University in Washington DC and taught for 3 years in Montgomery County, Maryland before moving to the Rochester, NY area. He worked at Wilson Magnet High School for 14 years where he taught courses in the International Baccalaureate Programme. While at Wilson, Kevin participated in Phase I of the Noyce Master Teacher Fellowship through which he earned his Ed.D in Teaching and Curriculum from the University of Rochester. In 2015, Kevin started teaching at East High School where he is currently a math teacher and has been the Upper School Math Teacher Leader for the last 4 years. Kevin believes that learning happens when you can connect new learning to student prior knowledge and encourage students to be the ones doing the thinking.<\/p>\n
