Susan Hissam Greene

Classes taught: AP Calculus BC, Calculus, Advanced Precalculus, Advanced Algebra II, Geometry

Virtual classroom teaching during COVID 19

• Engaged students with insightful and compelling classroom discussion of topics relevant to coursework to boost student learning and retention.
• Collaborated with department head, Dr Hannahs, to create dynamic, ongoing curriculum development, and instruction improvement program.
• Organized, prepared, and revised Type course material and applied technological options for online and course-related software.
• Participated in professional development opportunities to stay current on educational trends and enhance teaching skills.
• Consistently received positive evaluations from students, highlighting strong communication skills and dedication to student success.
• Classes taught: College Algebra, Intro to College Math, Culinary Math, Graduate level Statistics, Discrete Math

• Established a positive learning environment by enforcing consistent discipline and using effective classroom management techniques.
• Collaborated with fellow math teachers on curriculum development, resulting in a more cohesive and comprehensive program.
• Prepared and implemented lesson plans covering required course topics.
• Served as assistant and head coach of the Academic Team
• Improved students'' problem-solving abilities by incorporating real-life applications into mathematical concepts. (Ex: my geometry class was featured on local news when I taught them to knit to serve as a hands-on project to develop their ability to distinguish between one dimension (length of yarn), two dimensions (area of the trapezoidal piece knitted), and three dimensions (volume of the caps we made after sewing the sides). Caps were donated to nursing homes for the residents).
• Encouraged critical thinking and problem-solving to help students develop mathematical reasoning.
• Mentored students on individual basis to help develop math skills.
• Enhanced classroom engagement through interactive and collaborative activities, contributing to improved student outcomes.

Courses taught: Algebra I, Geometry, Advanced Algebra II, AP Calculus AB

Formed a Calculus Club to foster community spirit (Woodford Humane Society, World Wildlife Fund, donated blood, etc.) Students chose the charities)

Planned and developed AP Calculus AB test practice sessions

Served as department chair from 1985 to 1996

Developed hands-on activities to facilitate student learning (ex: students worked in small groups to solve problems in order to access info for scavenger hunts

• Collaborated with other math teachers on curriculum development, resulting in a more cohesive and comprehensive program.
• Designed instructional plans tailored to curriculum requirements.
• Provided meaningful math instruction to improve math skills of students.
• Diversified teaching techniques and learning tools help students with differing ability levels and varied learning modalities.
• Worked with other math faculty members to implement examples into lessons to foster critical thinking and application-based learning.
• Had students work in small groups to find diversified solutions to an existing problem.
