Name of Noyce institution:
Towson University

Caroline County

Background:

I am a junior at Towson University, majoring in mathematics with a concentration in Secondary Education. I am a resident assistant and am involved in Campus Crusade for Christ, Ultimate Frisbee, and Marching and Pep Band. I am the son of two teachers, and have a younger brother who just started Shenandoah University.

Why do you want to teach:

I was always been around my parents and saw the relationships that they formed with their students. I knew that that is where my heart was. As for choosing math, it was my favorite subject through school, and I figured I would not have trouble finding a job once I got out of school.

Describe a memorable teaching experience:

I was a student in Algebra II and was helping a fellow student with a concept. I had just been re-explaining what the teacher had shown us. I noticed he still wasn’t understanding so took a different approach and explained it another way I had seen. The student started understanding, and our small group got all of our work done in class with time to spare. At the time, I hadn’t really given any thought to what I had done until my teacher said that his supervisor (who was observing in the back) was impressed with what I had done in the group, and then my teacher asked if I was considering being a teacher.

What does the Noyce program mean to you:

I have only been in the Noyce program for about a month so am looking forward to finding out about all of the opportunities.
