Personalized learning. It feels. Overwhelming.
I have always been the type of teacher who values control. I have structures in place and we follow them everyday. Warm up, notes, assignment logs, gradual release of responsibility up the wazoo. Can you relate? But I’m feeling intrigued by more online and personalized learning. So I’ve decided to explore the world of online learning to create a more personalized plan for my students and I've created this blog as a space to share my journey into personalize learning with other educators. My hope is that we can learn from each other and growth with each other!
My name is Juliana Tapper and I currently teach Integrated Mathematics 1 and Math Concepts at Westminster High School in Westminster, Colorado. Prior to starting at Westminster I taught Algebra 1 and Math Support at Animo Watts College Preparatory Academy in South Central Los Angeles, California. I also taught Algebra 1, Math Support, CAHSEE Support, and Math 180 at Yerba Buena High School in East San Jose, California before leaving the classroom to be an Instuctional Coach and Math Teach on Special Assignment for East Side Union High School District in San Jose, California.
I am passionate about improving mathematics instruction especially for low-income, urban youth.
