Krista McKeague has been teaching middle school math for over twelve years. She graduated from UC Santa Cruz with a BA in psychology and earned her single subject (mathematics) teaching credential at Dominican University. In between these two events she had a successful marketing career in the computer software industry. As a teacher, Krista's goal is to provide engaging curriculum and differentiated instruction to accommodate students with a diverse range of learning styles. She strives to help students make connections within math, and between math and other subjects, and to communicate math ideas and questions effectively. When she is not teaching she loves to mountain bike, run, backpack, travel and garden.
