Hi there! My name is Shana McKay and I started teaching math (and biology) in Massachusetts public schools in 2004. I am certified to teach math grades 1-12, biology grades 8-12 and students with moderate disabilities.
I believe that all students can find success in math and enjoy learning. I also believe in a varied approach to teaching math. In my own classroom, I gave a variety of assignments and assessments so that every student could find success. Sometimes kids need to experience success to know what it feels like.
Bachelor's degree, Environmental Science, University of Massachusetts at Amherst. Master's degree, Mathematics for Teaching, Harvard Extension School.
I live in Massachusetts with my teacher husband and our daughter, and blog about math at scaffoldedmath.com. You can reach me at shana@scaffoldedmath.com or through Instagram or Facebook as Scaffolded Math and Science.
