Today I am talking with Ilse Espino Ortega, a middle school math teacher in Fort Worth, TX. I met Ilse in the Spring 2016 semester when she took my introductory education class. At the time, Ilse was exploring education as a major, and I am so glad she decided to choose teaching as her career. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Middle School Math Education and a Master’s in Math Education. She is an incredible teacher, and we can learn so much from her about teaching and working with young people.
