About

 

Hi! My name is Shana McKay and I believe all students can achieve in math with the right supports. After 8 years teaching general education math, I made the switch to high school special education math and found where I was meant to be. I'm currently an inclusion algebra 2 teacher and love every minute of the work I get to do every day. My joy is creating supports for students who struggle so that they can feel successful learning math.

 

I live in Massachusetts with my teacher husband and our daughter, and have taught algebra 1, algebra 2, geometry, consumer math, 8th grade math and biology in the general education and special education setting. I'm certified to teach math grades 1-12, biology grades 8-12, and students with moderate disabilities.

 

My bachelor's degree is in Environmental Science from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and I have a master's degree in Mathematics for Teaching from Harvard Extension School. You can reach me anytime at shana@scaffoldedmath.com. I'm also on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.

 

Scaffolded Math and Science started in 2013. Since then, I have enjoyed sharing math resources to help make teachers' lives a little easier through my blog, TPT and now here at shopscaffoldedmath.com.
