Who is Mr. Curlette
I love teaching! Each day is a great day when I have the chance to motivate 30 young adults how to think using mathematics. My students find learning though activities and discovery a challenge, however, they feel the success, confidence, and better self-esteem about math once they understand each lesson. Therefore, my teaching is about students feeling successful about math and building up their mathematical self-esteem.
Classes Taught & Accomplishments
I am an experienced educational teacher with demonstrated skill in leading, creating, and implementing innovative strategies to increase student performance. I have over 10 years of experience in teaching mathematics, classroom management, mentoring, lesson design, and implementing cutting-edge technologies to enhance lessons.
