My Name is Christine Lema and I am the Math Coach for Highland Park Elementary. I visit HPE every other week and work with math teachers in their classrooms on improving math instruction. I have really enjoyed seeing all the work teachers have done in the area of math. I am impressed with the dedication and hard work of this staff. Having a math coach working with teachers is called “job-embedded” staff development. The trend in education is to have coaches supporting teachers in the classroom as opposed to teachers going somewhere else for a “teacher workshop”. I hope that parents will feel more connected to math at HPE through the links found on the HPE website.
