for twenty-three years. As an ESL endorsed educator, Vicki most enjoys helping students improve their academic
language through mathematics and science strategies and hands-on learning. The combination of mathematics,
science, and language was the focus of Vicki’s doctoral dissertation.

to the line up of courses for the Master's Program, Vicki provides  mathematics workshops  for area teachers on using
