Shephali Chokshi is an avid learner, math coach, consultant, and published author who works with Regular, Special Education, and EL teachers to support designing instruction that engages all learners. Her passion for mathematics and learning has led her through a variety of experiences over the past two decades including delivering Professional Development to Math and Science teachers across the nation, receiving grants to travel to Peru and Panama to research math stories, collaborating with curriculum developers to design STEAM challenges, and writing a Barron's Test Prep study guide prior to the standards adoption of Common Core Standards.
In addition to working with teachers, her love and curiosity of students' thinking stems from her years of teaching a variety of levels, including: Elementary (Gr 2-5) Middle /High School students and GED. Shephali's work currently focuses on Middle School students and teachers. She has taught a range of courses through Fitchburg University, Framingham State University and Mount Holyoke College, as well as presented at NCTM/NCSM (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics/National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics) for the past 10 years. She holds a MS in Education from Wheelock, 45+ credits in Post-Grad courses and a BS in Psychology/Math from Rutgers College.
