My name is Angie Kruzich. I live with my husband Boyd, my daughter Andrena and our dog Cola. I live and work in Renton, Washington...yes, where the Seahawks are located! They built a fabulous practice facility just a few miles from where we live. We are very excited about their success this past year.
Currently I am taking EdTech 541 at Boise State this term. Thus far, I have completed EdTech 501, 502, 503, 504, 505, 512, 537, 542 and 551. It is very exciting to know that I will be done with the M.E.T. program in the spring!
I teach full-time at Liberty High School in Issaquah School District (ISD) where I teach geometry, AP Calculus BC and AP Statistics. AP Stats was a new course for our school last year and I was the only one teaching it, so it was interesting to handle the workload while working on my Master's degree. I was not planning to teach a new course while working on this Master's degree, however, the College Board offered our school a grant to start AP Stats. It did not make sense to turn down grant money. In addition, the grant came with two all expense paid conferences including the national AP conference this past summer in Las Vegas!
This is my 22nd year of teaching math in ISD, which is where I have always worked. I started by teaching seventh and eighth grade math for 4 years, then moved to the high school level for four years when a new high school opened in our district. Then my daughter came along, so I took two years off during which time I started my own tutoring business and have been doing that ever since. After my two-year leave from the district, I went back to the classroom part-time at Liberty High where I have been now for 12 years. Now I am full-time again and still tutoring in the evenings to supplement the teaching paycheck.
It has been a challenge to keep up with the workload of the M.E.T. program, but have found a time management system that keeps me afloat. It definitely wasn't the ideal time for me to start this master's program, but that is what I have been saying to myself throughout my first 20 years of teaching...so I have determined, a better time will not happen anytime soon! I sought an on-line program in which to earn a master's degree because I have two jobs, and my daughter is a very active soccer player year round and I am the team manager; so I was seeking the flexibility of on-line. I have found that if I designate my entire Sunday each week to my master's class during the school year, then I can do this!
