Her multiple roles as a VCAA assessor for Specialist Mathematics, IB examiner and Deputy Chief Examiner for IB Higher Level Mathematics, writer and presenter for Mathematical Association of Victoria and Pearsons Australia and Subject Matter Expert for HL Mathematics Pamoja Education are valuable experiences enhancing her teaching. Her journey with Texas Instruments started many years ago in Poland, when studying for her Master Engineering degree; she had a chance to replace a slide ruler with a scientific TI calculator. It was a big technological jump those days. The next encounter happened at Melbourne University when she first used the TI graphics calculator. From this time on, Bozenna has been using extensively Texas Instruments technology in her teaching. That includes the latest TI Nspire and TI Nspire CAS with the Navigator. As T-Cubed National Trainer, Bozenna attended and presented at several T-Cubed conferences, recently in Orlando, Florida. Bozenna is an enthusiastic, committed educator with innate ability to inspire and motivate her students. She is passionate about using technology in the classroom, discovery learning, and learning through explorations, investigations and peer discussions to make sure her students become successful learners.
