District Director of Evaluation and Assessment Practices, John Kerrigan, and High School North mathematics educator, Kara Teehan, have both been elected to serve on the Association of Mathematics Teachers of New Jersey’s Executive Board for 2022.

Dr. Kerrigan and Dr. Teehan taught together at High School North in 2014-2015, and have since completed their doctorates at Rutgers University, in addition to co-presenting at national mathematics conferences.

Recognizing the importance of giving back to the community, both Dr. Kerrigan and Dr. Teehan have volunteered for the AMTNJ for two years by organizing virtual professional development for teachers around the state, creating contests for middle and high school students across New Jersey, and publishing articles for the greater mathematics education community.

Dr. Kerrigan and Dr. Teehan hope to use their positions on the state mathematics executive board to share what they have learned in Middletown about mathematics instruction and intervention, as well as bring additional resources and connections to Middletown Township Public Schools to further our mathematics education initiatives.  Congratulations to Dr. Kerrigan and Dr. Teehan on their monumental appointments!
