Background Information
I have been a community college mathematics faculty member since 1989, teaching at the Community College of Allegheny County outside of Pittsburgh, PA and currently at the College of Southern Maryland directly south of Washington, DC.I have been working with college faculty (as well as pre-service and in-service teachers) on learning how to teach for conceptual understanding instead of just teaching mathematics as a collection of processes, procedures, and rules.
Currently, I am serving as the Past-President for AMATYC (American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges).
