Math Teacher Circles:  Lead and create sessions for the Black-Swamp Mathematics Teachers Circle alongside the team below.  We create six sessions a year that are free to teachers.  During 2013 and 2014 we worked to find a team of mathematics teachers and mathematics educators to work together to create a Math Teacher Circle in Northwest Ohio.  This team completed Math Teacher Circle training from the American Institute of Mathematics in Washington DC in the summer of 2014.  Deb Gallagher and I wrote an ITQ grant to fund the start-up of the Math Teachers Circle (2013 – Present)
