Meet the Staff

Janet Moore is a Math Instructional Coach with a passion for empowering students and teachers to be confident, curious, and competent mathematicians, regardless of their past experiences in mathematics.

Janet draws upon a unique combination of formal and informal teaching experiences that include: (1) teaching high school mathematics at Bureau Valley High School, (2) teaching developmental mathematics at Illinois State University, (3) integrating math, science, and ELA into simulated space mission experiences at the Challenger Learning Center, (4) translating the math and science involved in NASA’s high-energy astrophysics missions into lessons and materials for K-12 classrooms, and (5) providing professional development for teachers on behalf of ISBE, NSF, and MSP during the transition to Common Core and NGSS standards. 

In her curriculum development and professional development endeavors, Janet emphasizes an inquiry-based, SEL-focused approach to mathematics instruction that allows students and teachers to understand mathematical concepts through meaningful experiences.
