Erica Pon
Steindorf K-8 School
6th Grade Teacher
San Jose, CA
An elementary school teacher from the Bay Area completing her 8th year of teaching, Erica Pon was the kid who floated by, never truly learned her math facts, and didn't discover a love for math until she started teaching Common Core and realized how unimportant speed and rotate memorization were compared to logic and deep thinking.
