Ms. Debra Doherty

My name is Ms. Doherty pronounced as door tea. This will be my tenth year teaching high school mathematics. From 2011 - 2014 I was employed by Waelder Independent School District. Waelder ISD is a 1A school which meant I was the only high school math teacher. This experience has given me a unique perspective of how each level of mathematics integrates with the next. Prior to working at Waelder High School I was employed by Victoria Independent School District (VISD) as a substitute teacher. In addition to these experiences, I have been employed by UHV as a writing tutor and by Victoria College as a general subject tutor, a peer mentoring tutor for math, an English reading tutor and a teaching assistant for the math departments. I have a M. Ed in Curriculum and Instruction, and B.A. Mathematical Sciences both from UHV, and an A.S. from VC.

Attached is a scholarship opportunity I am forwarding from Ms. Whitehead. 

Due date is October 31, 2020.

Welcome

Welcome to the 2020-2021 school year. This is going to be a learning experience for all of us. While we did transition rapidly in the spring to virtual teaching be aware the structure is much different for the fall semester. By spring break we are wrapping up and all that is left is the last unit tests, test preparation, and of course testing. 

This is the fall semester and this is a true on-line class. Attendance will be taken each class period and the 90% rule of attending classes is mandatory to earn credit. During the first week we will be weaving some math content into our on-line synchronous time while we are learning the tools and rules of the online classroom. The second week of class will be briefly reviewing online tools with the main focus being on content. The third week will be focusing mainly on content. 

I look forward to learning with you as well as teaching you during this school year.
