Gregory Lakey

Mr. Gregory P. Lakey. Is a National Board-Certified Instructor that has instructed math courses such as Math 8, Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, and Student-Paced Independent Learning. Additionally, he created, implemented, was awarded A-G accreditation, and wrote the curriculum for the following two courses: Accelerated Integrated 9th-grade Mathematics and Math 9. Throughout his 18-year career as a practitioner, he firmly believes in an “exploratory” curriculum that is hands-on, tangible, and applicable. Mr. Lakey built projects and published a curriculum consisting of cars, ramps, and photogates to teach the patterns of linear equations, used real-time banking data to connect exponential equations to savings accounts, built rockets with students to investigate the relationships between quadratics and physics, and introduced the stock market to the classroom by having students use standard deviation to track the volatility of selected stocks. Along with his “in-class” practical knowledge, he is currently in school to attain more macro-level theoretical knowledge. Mr. Lakey currently attends Concordia University, working towards a Master of Arts in Education with an emphasis in Learning, Design, and
Technology.
