Hear From Linda:

I started as "not a math person." Although "successful" in math classes until college, I never understood nor appreciated math. It was get 'er done and get out.  Until I almost failed out. Then it became I don't do math. Enter elementary teaching and the amazing transformation that comes from learning from great teachers, coaches, and students. I learned math through my first then second then seventh then eighth graders, and now my three sons. My teaching experience as a white teacher of black and brown students put into stark prospective the need for focus, energy, and especially equity in math education from the earliest years.  Herein launched my new found passion that I have turned into a mission.
