    Statement: To support the important work of teachers, NCTM must continue to offer innovative professional learning institutes and conferences. Today's educators are asked to ensure equity, access, and empowerment in their work so each and every student can realize success in mathematics. NCTM faces the challenge of advancing this knowledge with clarity and in ways that result in actions at the district, building, and classroom levels.

    Integration of new technology provides opportunities to problem solve and reason when learning mathematics. NCTM should help teachers develop skills with new technology and conceptualize its use in instruction.

    Advocating for social justice in mathematics education requires initiatives so stakeholders can build confidence and find voice when addressing this important issue. NCTM should collaborate with other education organizations in this effort.

    My colleagues would say I am collaborative, efficient, dependable, and a good listener. Helping students and supporting teachers have been my life's work. It would be an honor to continue this journey by serving on the NCTM Board.
