Arkansas Association of Mathematics Leaders

 

The Arkansas Association of Mathematics Leaders formed to assist in promoting effectiveness in leadership, coaching, coordination, and the teaching of mathematics at all levels by holding meetings for the presentation and discussion of papers; by conducting public discussion groups, forums, panels, lectures, or other similar programs; by conducting or promoting investigations for the purpose of improving the teaching of mathematics; and by the sharing of papers, journals, books, and reports; thus vitalizing and coordinating the work of mathematics leaders across Arkansas and bringing the interests of mathematics to the attention and consideration of the larger community in Arkansas.

For Vice-President: Karl Romain and Patricia Goodman

  Karl-Henry Romain has been an educator for over 18 years. He currently trains teachers and administrators on the nuances of the content, pedagogy and instructional strategies of teaching and learning. His area of expertise is on the seamless integration of technology into the taught curriculum. He has designed and taught various professional learning modules regarding analyzing student work and connecting it to the lesson that was taught and what will be taught; how to unwrap and make sense of the various mathematics learning trajectories; on aligning the pedagogy to the mathematics content being taught, and how to create differentiated lessons to meet the needs of all learners. 
  Patricia  Goodman  has  been  in  the  field  of  education  for  over  25  years,  with  work  experiences  in  both  private  and  public  schools  in  Arkansas,  as  well  as  a  DoDEA  school  (Halvorsen  Elementary)  located  on  Rhein  Main  AFB  in  Germany.  She  is  a  native  of  Newport,  Rhode  Island,  and  a  proud  graduate  of  Caddo  Hills  High  School  in  Norman,  Arkansas  where  she  had  four  years  of  high  school  math  with  an  incredible  math  teacher,  Mrs.  Hazel  Lokey.  Patricia  began  college  as  a  math  major  with  a  minor  in  music,  and  ultimately  graduated  with  a  degree  in  music  (piano).  After  several  years  of  teaching  K-12  music  she  felt  the  call  of  the  general  education  classroom,  and  over  the  years  had  the  opportunity  to  teach  5th  grade  and  middle  school  math,  and  to  work  with  K-5  students  in  a  math  lab  setting.  In  addition  to  classroom  teaching,  Patricia  has  many  diverse  school  work  experiences  from  which  she  draws  insight.    These  roles  include  substitute  teacher,  paraprofessional,  math  facilitator,  school  improvement  specialist,  and  her  current  role  as  the  Little  Rock  School  District  Math  Lead  Teacher  for  K-5.  In  this  role  she  advocates  for  teachers  to  have  the  opportunity  to  gain  knowledge  about  how  children  develop  an  understanding  of  math,  and  to  improve  their  math  content  knowledge  to  better  support  their  students  in  doing  so.  She  and  the  district  math  facilitators,  in  partnership  with  district  teacher-leaders,  develop  and  curate  curriculum  resources  and  regularly  provide  professional  development  to  support  the  efforts  of  teachers  throughout  the  twenty-eight  elementary  schools  in  the  district.
