Mission
Mr. Middleton teaches PreCalculus, STAM (statistics & applied math), and Calculus. 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, Mr. Middleton’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. For the last three summers, he has also worked at Manzano Mountain Retreat as a ropes course facilitator (challenge courses on logs and wires to develop teamwork and self-confidence). Mr. Middleton enters his 20th year of teaching in 2009-2010! In addition to his intense love for making math fun, Mr. Middleton enjoys hiking, backpacking, biking, snowshoeing, kayaking, and snowboarding.
