About me
Shelley Nash teaches Mathematics at Independence Alternative High School in Blackfoot School District. She excels in her understanding of providing positive supports and intervention for students who have experienced a pattern of failure in mathematics. She received a B.A. in Family and Consumer Science from Utah State University and a Master of Arts in Mathematics Education from Western Governor’s University. She also has a Graduate Certificate in Online Teaching from Boise State University. Shelley has contributed to statewide projects through her work on standards committees and the Math Badging Pilot Project, where she serves as a Badging Mentor Teacher. Her principal says, “Like most teachers, Ms. Nash has heard students ask the question ‘When will I ever use this information in real life?’ she has taken the challenge to heart and is constantly in the process of finding ways to improve her lessons in an effort to make math more interesting and applicable to a group of students that have traditionally struggled with math.”
