Ms. Gina
Fuller
Consultant - Mathematics Education
Gina Fuller
has over 40 years of experience as a classroom teacher and educational
leader in the field of high school mathematics. She has a BA in
mathematics from the University of Maine and an MBA from the University of
Southern New Hampshire.
Throughout her career, Mrs. Fuller has
taught all levels of high school and middle school mathematics. At
Oak Hill School in Sabattus, Maine, where Mrs. Fuller taught for 28 years
and served as the Department Head for Mathematics and Computer Technology,
she worked to develop a competitive math team program. She was a
member of the Project Aspire program from the University of Maine, a
unique program where students taking her A.P. Calculus and A.P. Statistics
classes while still in high school were awarded twelve college credits
from the University of Maine system. Mrs. Fuller has also enjoyed
teaching college courses for the University of Maine, including
introductory computer and programming classes.
More recently, Mrs.
Fuller taught in California where she developed a reputation as a strong
advocate for Jewish Education and Jewish history. She continued
teaching mathematics, serving as a department chair and as the director of
the Teacher Advancement Program, TAP/Mentor Teacher Program, for new
teachers at both the high school and middle school level.
Mrs. Fuller loves to travel, having been offered trips to
Israel nine times in the last few years as well as joining Jewish history
trips through Italy and Morocco. Mrs. Fuller values very highly the
opportunity to chaperone high school seniors from various high schools
throughout Los Angeles in the annual trip with the International March of
the Living program, visiting the former concentration camps of Poland and
then traveling to Israel. Mrs. Fuller, though not Jewish, considers
herself very Jewish, and is proud to be an advocate for Jewish
education.
A dedicated, passionate and inspiring teacher, Mrs.
Fuller loves the opportunity to work with students. Even though now
retired from full time teaching, she enjoys subbing whenever called and
jumps at the chance to take a long term subbing position when
needed. From tutoring to teaching to traveling, Mrs. Fuller enjoys
encouraging students to make the most of every opportunity offered them.
In addition to teaching math, Mrs. Fuller can often be found
exploring her state, region and world. An avid reader and a collector of
books, comics, and sewing machines, Mrs. Fuller’s true passion is
solving and collecting riddles and puzzles. In the summer Mrs.
Fuller can be found on the beach with her grandchildren.
