I am a National Board Certified Teacher in Early Adolescent Mathematics. I teach math and communication skills to academically gifted students at Hudson Middle School. Vicky Smathers and I also host staff development workshops on diversifying instruction for the academically gifted child in the regular classroom. This project was created at NCCAT. LEARN NC provided the opportunity for us to integrate curriculum and technology.

- A renaissance of jazz and poetry
- The Harlem Renaissance was the birth of a creative plethora in all fields of art for African Americans. The poetry and jazz composed during or inspired by this era naturally complemented each other. Furthermore, many of the themes from the musical and literary worlds are universal and provide a great lesson on how two different works can have a parallel theme.
