Hello. My name is Adam Staab. I am a a mathematics teacher. I have created this site to share resources that I have created, others I have come across, and insights that I have had. I believe that any person's experiences can be a stepping stone for another and I am trying to do my part.

As a father, I have slowly become aware of the effect the constraints imposed by me on my children can have on them. As an educator, I have become aware of the effect the constraints a singular pace has on my classroom and my students. There is a fine line between teaching a child and overloading a child. The latter is not healthy and occurs with struggling students who can't handle the "average pace". Pacing should be individualized, not generalized.

As an educator, I have classrooms full of individuals that need individual respect. I truly believe that respect for the individual can only be achieved by creating policies that are flexible to the individual and empowering to them. Respect for all starts with the respect for one. This site shares my experiences and thoughts on how I am trying to achieve this in my classroom.
