What inspired Mrs. Tavernier’s desire to become a teacher and was being fortunate enough to “have exceptional math teachers who not only made the subject engaging but also inspired me to think critically and see the world through a different lens. I wanted to pay it forward, helping the next generation of students find the same inspiration, confidence, and excitement in learning that I had experienced.” Mrs. Tavernier’s favorite lessons to teach are on measures of central tendency, factoring, and solving equations.
