More Than Just a Passionate Math Teacher

Mark Richman has been teaching for over 45 years. He worked thirty-one of those years in the NYC School System. His first nineteen years in NYC were served on the middle school level at JHS 43, in Brooklyn, where he performed as a math teacher and as Dean of Discipline. He then taught for 5 years at Brooklyn’s Lincoln High School. He not only taught math to pupils in grades 9 through 12 (Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry), but he also taught “AP Calculus” for three years. At Lincoln, he served as the union “Chapter Leader” of his school.

In 1997 (after being in the classroom for 24 years), he moved into administration where he served at Brooklyn’s Erasmus Hall HS as the supervisor of math, guidance, organization, and security.

The following year, he moved into “staff and curriculum development” for many of the High Schools of Brooklyn and Staten Island in NYC. In this role, he had the wonderful opportunity to train teachers in the improvement of their craft. After serving in this role for three years, he again returned to the classroom where he became a math teacher at Automotive High School in Brooklyn, NY.
