Meet Mrs. Dingle.
It is indeed a privilege to teach, and it has become my passion and life's work for the past 19 years, with this past year being my third at Briar Vista. I have taught all subjects from first through fifth grades, and gifted mathematics from third through fifth grades. Life has led me to teach in DeKalb, Gwinnett, and Howard County, Maryland, in both public and private schools. I have a Bachelor's degree in economics from the University of California, Riverside, and a Masters in elementary education from Emory University.
I am married and have two adult children in college. My daughter just finished her Masters degree in architecture and practices in New York. My son is a junior at Georgetown College, double-majoring in business and communications. They continue to bring me pride and gratitude. And of course, they both have math in their blood!
It is no secret that I LOVE mathematics. I am fortunate to often present at local, state and national conferences of mathematics, ESOL and gifted education, and have developed and facilitated Common Core math workshops to 5th grade teachers across Georgia. I have also been developing and presenting social justice workshops across the country, have been a contributing writer for Education Week and the Global Math Department online newsletter. I am honored to be able to do this work and mentor new educators.
I have specialized certifications in ESOL, gifted education, Montessori education, and elementary mathematics and middle grades mathematics. Currently, I serve on the Classroom Resources Committee of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, am a Heinemann Fellow, and am a member of the Teaching Tolerance Advisory Board. I have served on the School Council, and have been the grade level chairperson.
