Lucie Mingla's Portfolio

Working in Higher Education at multiple Colleges and Universities in New York City teaching mathematics at different levels has been an unparalleled experience in my professional life. I have taught various mathematics courses such as Remedial Math courses, Quantitative reasoning, Statistics, College Algebra and Trigonometry, Geometry, Precalculus, Calculus, Finite Mathematics, Discrete Structure of Computer Science, etc.

Contributing to various CUNY collaborative programs preparing high school students for Regents Exams, facilitating high school teachers’ workshops for AP Calculus courses, etc. have helped me leverage and upgrade my teaching abilities and perspective in higher education. It has helped me make a better connection between the curriculum taught in secondary education and college and given me a better sense of what the freshmen students need from me as an instructor.

Teaching different grade levels in secondary education in Mathematics at NYC DOE has been another great experience in terms of knowing the curriculum, and challenges associated with each grade level. Previously I worked as a Teacher of Mathematics in secondary education for about ten years(Albania). My qualitative hard work and dedication as well as my continued professional development gave me the chance in the second decade of my career to be upgraded and promoted as “First Category Math Teacher”, Citywide PD Leader, and Assistant Principal until I came here in the USA in December 2005.

One of my priorities has been taking advantage of all workshops, professional developments, and conferences that City Tech and CUNY have offered. One of the greatest experiences has been the Open Gateways Fellowship for four years followed by other opportunities for creating OER-s and presentations with the team. I have attended annual research conferences at the institutions where I am teaching and the CUNY central research conferences and IT conferences. I have actively participated, presented, and co-presented in many CUNY, and other local, national, and international conferences.

I am committed to the excellence of teaching. The various academic activities have equipped me with excellent interpersonal and communication skills, and the ability to multi-task and meet deadlines. My passion for teaching and innovation has enabled me to better serve my students in interactive ways through technology to enhance their learning experience and productivity.

Some of the conferences that I have presented or co-presented:

An Introduction to Desmos, 30^th International Conference on Technology in Collegiate Mathematics, Washington, DC, USA, March 15 – 18, 2018 (joint presentation with Arianne Masuda).

Engaging College Algebra and Trigonometry students with OERs, Joint Mathematics Meetings (JMM), Baltimore, MD, US, January 16-19, 2019 (joint presentation with Arianne Masuda).
