Jason Ermer (he/him) is a professional mathematics educator with two decades of experience.
Whether working with students (from middle school to university) or leading professional development for teachers, Jason's classroom is a place of warmth and acceptance, where participants feel safe sharing ideas, testing conjectures, and making mistakes as they develop self confidence as problem solvers.
A native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Jason holds a bachelor's degree in computer science from Carnegie Mellon University and a master's degree in education from the University of Texas at Austin.
In addition to his years of experience in the middle school classroom, Jason held a position as Clinical Assistant Professor in the College of Natural Sciences at UT Austin, where he coached future secondary teachers in the pedagogy of inquiry-based teaching, and taught mathematics courses for future elementary school teachers. In 2012 he won a Teaching Excellence Award from the College of Natural Sciences.
Jason now lives in Seattle, Washington, where he teaches mathematics at Open Window School. He and his husband, Michael, are avid hikers, and the Pacific Northwest is a great place to take advantage of the outdoors!
