Mr. Russell Baskin
I am excited about the new school year and the learning opportunities presented at the JSTEM Academy this year.
Here is a little bit about myself. I graduated from Sandra Day O’Connor High School here in San Antonio in 2007. I went to Abilene Christian University where I received a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics for Secondary Education in 2012.
I then moved to Tyler, TX where I began my teaching career at John Tyler High School teaching a variety of mathematics subjects from 2012 to 2014. I began to pursue a Master’s degree in Mathematics from the University of Texas at Tyler, where I also had to opportunity to teach Intro to Statistics and College Algebra. In 2015 I moved down here to San Antonio to start working at the JSTEM Academy. I am currently in my 8th year with the JSTEM Academy where I taught 7th grade math for one year, Algebra 1 for five years. This is my 2nd year teaching Project Lead the Way (PLTW) Computer Science for Innovators and Makers and Automation and Robotics.
Outside of teaching, I coach the JSTEM Lightning Robotics FTC teams.
