Kacie L. Anderson

I have spent my entire teaching experience in the Alamogordo Public School District and am finishing my 16th year of teaching. I have taught math for grades 7th to sophomore year at NMSU-A. I am not an expert but I am a borrower. I have taken things from previous trainings sessions, webinars, and book studies to try in my classroom. Most ideas BOMBED but a few have been a key component of my routine. I look forward to adding to my math toolbox and being surrounded by inspiring math people.

Teaching Math for most of my career, I love sharing ideas with other instructors! My Master's Degree was attained in collaboration with other teachers through the LIFT (Leadership Institute for Teachers) and MC2 at NMSU. Collaborating on strategies and Lesson Study are near and dear to my heart. Let's tackle some strategies and pedagogy together and both emerge as better educators for our students!

I have 2 kids- both are in high school.  We have 2 cats, 2 dogs, and fish (both inside in a tank and outside in a pond).  I love collecting stuff.  I'm also the pastor New Beginnings Church of the Nazarene on Scenic Drive in Alamogordo.

I have been teaching for 29 years.  The first 13 were on the Navajo Reservation followed by almost 17 here. My whole teaching career has been spent with alternative, at-risk, challenging students, and I would not have it any other way.  They are creative and interesting and resilient.  I am never bored. At home I wrangle my own two teenagers and try to find time to spend with my husband.  I love reading, learning new things, and meditating in nature. Life is an adventure!... Read more
