Area 3
Representative: Charlotte Ogle
1. Where did you go to college and why did you
choose this school?
I went to Portland State for my undergrad degree and
George Fox for my graduate degree.
When I moved into the Portland area I heard so many good things about
Portland State. After I had been
working for a few years I started getting student teachers from George
Fox. I was impressed with their
education department and the professors that taught there. That is why I decided to get my graduate degree there.
2. Where have you taught? What grade level(s)?
I have spent the past 19 years teaching primary
grades in Sherwood and Beaverton.
3. What is your current professional focus (job)?
Currently, I am back to teaching a blended classroom
of 2nd and 3rd graders.
4. How and why did you get involved with OCTM?
It's important for me as a primary teacher to give
the young kids the best possible start in math. OCTM offers a way to stay current in my teaching practices
and offers a way to see future trends in education.
5. What kind of math leadership roles have you
taken in the Oregon Math Community?
The past two years I have been part of the Beaverton
School District's Math Facilitator Cadre.
6. What are you passionate about (personal or
professional)?
It is every teacher's responsibility to make
education relevant, interesting, and fun to lower or eliminate
the dropout rate.
7. What one word do you think best describes you?
Practical
