My Story
My husband calls me a learning sponge, no matter what the topic I want to learn the ‘what’ and the ‘why’: the causes and relationships. Thus it was natural to me to follow a meandering path and become a teacher. As I love to learn, I am always striving to learn new approaches to teaching, new ways to infect students with a love for, or at least an understanding that they can learn, mathematics.
Gretchen W. WhippleWarren Wilson students challenge me to be my best. They are curious, they ask questions. They have their own ideas about 'what', and offer the opportunity to explore in learning the 'why' and 'how.'
