Mr. K at the Smartboard
This is an ePortfolio site for Taner Karakas. I received my undergraduate degree from the School of Engineering at Florida State University (FSU) and my graduate degree from the School of Education at University of Bridgeport (UB).
Currently, I teach math at Greenwich High School. I have been teaching middle and high school math for over 15 years and have taught every pre-requisite course from Pre-Algebra to AB Calculus.
This is a representational site, containing pertinent course work, student teaching exemplars and current teaching resources. While most of the content is public, some of it is only accessible with my permission. Contact me at tnrkrks@gmail.com for a password to login to these reserved sections.
