I enjoyed meeting and then sharing my STEM and math strategies with Michael Montoya, Assistant Superintendent of Operations and High Schools, and Steve Rodriguez, Executive Director of Special Education, at Las Cruces Public Schools. After evaluating the information and strategies that I shared with them on June 15th, they are going to share them with their school district’s administrators. I hope to provide instructional support for their teachers to help their students during the 2023-24 school year.
