Vanessa Baker entered the NYC public school system as an Algebra/Geometry instructor at the secondary level in 2004. Vanessa has designed a constructivist classroom offering differentiated instruction to provide intervention and enrichment opportunities for a wide range of students. She has shared her proven techniques at national CES conferences (2007/2008). Her workshops provide practical ways of spiraling math content and skills across and within grade levels. These tools facilitate increased student comprehension and retention through multiple exposures. Vanessa also provides methods of creating data-driven assessment to evaluate student skills. Her easily implemented techniques focus on conceptual growth at all levels. In addition, she prepares her students for the demands of the technological world by incorporating graphing calculators, motion detectors, and other aids to enrich her lessons.
