meet your teacher...
My name is Colleen Alms and this is my 19th year teaching math at Roscoe Middle School. In 2000, I graduated from Illinois State University with a Middle School Education degree. I currently teach 7th grade math but I have also taught 8th grade math (9 years) & Social Studies. Every year students arrive into my classroom with negative attitudes and minimal confidence in math, my challenge for the last eighteen years is to change their perspective and acknowledge that yet math is challenging, it also can be fun! My students witness my love of math and the determination to explain it until I have student understanding and ability to continue through each topic.
This is my family on the top of Mauna Kea Summit (13, 810 feet above sea level) in Hawaii watching the sunrise. I also love to travel the world.
