Algebra 1 Essentials

Welcome to Algebra 1 Essentials

with Ms. Koford!

This year promises to be full of adventures as we explore the essential standards of Algebra 1 as a building block for higher level mathematics and career readiness. I am very excited to have the opportunity to work with new and returning Perris High School students, also known as "academic fighters", as we begin our 2020-21 learning journey in a remote learning model.

Hello and welcome to Algebra 1 Essentials! Let me help you get to know me a bit. The 2020-21 school year will mark my 10th year of teaching learners at the high school level and my third year at Perris High School. I truly love my role as teacher and the opportunity it provides to have meaningful interactions with students and their families!

To share a bit about my educational background, I earned a Bachelor of Science degree from San Diego State University and a Master's of Education from CSUSM. I currently hold three teaching credentials, which have greatly supported my ability to differentiate instruction across academic content areas to meet the needs of a wide variety of learners. My passion for teaching algebra is based in the belief that the principles of mathematics can empower students with critical problem-solving skills in a universal language to be generalized to other areas of life. I believe that students learn best in a safe, well-supported, fun classroom community with clearly defined, high expectations and access to a variety of engaging technologies.

On a personal note, I have lived in the local area for years and have many fond memories of day trips to Lake Perris in my youth. My family and I enjoy spending time involved with various community activities. We have three dogs, which we consider to be integral members of our family, and are currently training them to be social-emotional support animals. In addition, we are active volunteers working with animal rescues and shelters in nearby communities. We also dedicate time to pursuing favorite recreational interests, ranging from surfing to playing the piano, guitar, and drums. Going to the beach and traveling to new destinations throughout the country are just a few of our preferred family activities. We strive to be continuous learners in our shared interests of world languages and music.
