TJ Middleton teaches PreCalculus, STAM (statistics & applied math), Calculus,
and Calculus 2. He graduated from Texas A&M University in 1990 with a Bachelor
of Science degree in mathematics education, and then taught college-prep math
courses for 11 years at a public high school in Austin. Throughout the school
year and during the summers, his experiences outside the classroom included
working at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory in California, leading
teacher-training workshops about alternative assessment projects and graphing
calculator instruction, attending a National Science Foundation seminar
regarding discrete math, and working as a consultant with the College Board’s
Advanced Placement program. In 2001, TJ’s interest in backpacking inspired him
to move to New Mexico, where he obtained a Master of Science degree at UNM in
pure mathematics and mathematics education. From 2007 to 2010, he also worked
at Manzano Mountain Retreat as a ropes course facilitator (challenge courses
on logs and wires to develop teamwork and self-confidence). TJ enters his 22nd
year of teaching in 2011-2012! In addition to his intense love for making math
fun, TJ enjoys hiking, backpacking, biking, snowshoeing, kayaking, and
snowboarding.
