Daniel Giddings

Daniel, who goes by Dan, was raised in a family of educators, and discovered his passion for teaching early in life. As Lead Teacher and Diploma Program Coordinator at his school, Dan works in a unique environment dedicated to providing middle and high school students with alternative education options. This includes International Baccalaureate (IB) programming, early college alliance, and hybrid online and in-person curriculum. As a dedicated educator, Dan works to change students’ perception of math and build a better understanding of the role math plays in their lives outside of the classroom.

Dan is part of the Decision Education Fellowship where he has worked to expand and challenge the ideas and concepts he brings to his classroom. In addition to teaching, Dan is in his third year of coaching his daughter’s travel basketball team. As an educator Scholar he is most looking forward to, “connecting with fellow educators and students from across the nation and world to bring their experiences and expertise back to my students and school.”
