=Elizabeth Pawelka= June 2012

I have just completed my Masters degree in secondary mathematics education and am excited to start my new career in teaching. I taught Geometry during my student teaching session and I focused on Statistics during my masters education. But I am open to teaching any course at any level needed.

In addition to all the benefits that a teacher with a Masters education from NC State University can provide, I also bring the benefit of over twenty years experience in software development at IBM. I believe my people and project management skills will enhance my ability to quickly work with the math department and help with the transition to the new Common Core standards. I am excited to be able to enter the field during this time of change. Please refer to my resume for details.

I am also a [|Noyce Mathematics Education Teaching Scholar] and, through this program, have had experiences and support that many teachers have not. I presented at an NCCTM conference and attended the national NCTM conference this year. I also had the opportunity to work with a high-needs group at Southeast Raleigh High School and have been introduced to the challenges facing many of our students. I have attached a letter from our Principal Investigator which explains additional benefits of this wonderful program.

I also have three of my own children who have gone through and are going through high school. My oldest son, Eric, graduated from high school in 2010 and is now majoring in Math and pre-Med at UNC-Chapel Hill. My daughter, Ashley, just graduated from Apex High School this year and plans to attend Virginia Tech to pursue her dream of being a veterinarian. My youngest son, Carl, is a rising junior in high school and was recently inducted into the National Honor Society. Given the wonderful experience I have had raising these exceptional students, I am looking forward to helping other students rise to their potential.

Please refer to the following pages to see my work and accomplishments as I begin my new career as a High School Math Teacher.
