Region 6 Interim Director

Hello! My name is May Vang, and I am the region 6 interim director. This is a large area that covers north and west of Minneapolis all the way up to St. Cloud area. 

Some of you may know me as a middle school math teacher, but this year, I have transitioned into an instructional coaching role at a small Hmong charter school in Brooklyn Center called New Millennium Academy. I currently coach all teachers in K-8 who teach math. It’s been quite a transition for me, but it’s one that I have been really enjoying. I have spent the prior 10 years teaching 6-12 mathematics in St. Paul and Osseo school districts. In my role as a coach, I get to pursue my passion of working with teachers, teacher educators, and especially with new and beginner math teachers. Sharing ideas and collaborating on instructional strategies gets me excited to go to school every day. I am reminded daily by all of you that what we do is needed and how we do it is how our students get inspired to do math. I am lucky to work with all of you and call you my community. Don’t hesitate to reach out to me for anything that you feel MCTM can do to support you and your learning community. region6dir@mctm.org Help us get the word out about MCTM to your colleagues who are not yet members. I’m excited to meet all of you at the annual spring conference in April.
