A Day in the Life of a High School Math Teacher
A Day in the Life of a High School Math Teacher (Kyle Riddle)
Student Caleb Hong interviewed math teacher Kyle Riddle. The interview appeared in the Amador Valley High School newspaper on October 29, 2023. At 6:30 AM on an innocuous Monday, math teacher Mr. [Kyle] Riddle is one of the first teachers to arrive on campus. He uses this invaluable time to prepare for his classes and record homework review videos. “A big thing for me is to think through the day, to always have a backup plan. I double-check my calendars, and prepare all my class materials. My mornings are early and very productive. I’m much smarter in the mornings before I teach. If I were to try and do all this stuff after school, I just don’t think I would be able to,” said Kyle Riddle. Usually, school begins at 8:30. With lesson plans set and a final reheating of his coffee, Riddle welcomes his first period into his classroom. “If you’re keeping track, this is actually the third time I’m reheating my coffee,” said Riddle. By lunch, Riddle has already taught the same lesson a few times. Undoubtedly his specific explanation or lecture has, at this point, grown tiresome. |

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource
Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and
other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching
practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
