Adam Latham (@A_mathteacher) | #BowTieTuesday
Introduction: This week’s #BowTieTuesday Educator Spotlight goes to an educator that I met before I knew that I had met him. Before settling down in #ZebraNation, this educator taught within another school district for which I had a demo lesson in. Fast forward one school year, and unbeknownst to me, he approaches me and informs me that we had met in before. He filled the gap in my knowledge base, fast forward two years, and the Edu-Rock Star that I’ll be recognizing this week is my good friend Mr. Adam Latham (@A_mathteacher), a mathematics specialist at New Brunswick High School.
Educational Pursuit: Adam is steadily approaching the one decade mark and blossoming into one of those once in a lifetime educators. He obtained a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and a master’s degree in curriculum and instruction from Kean University. He has always been intrinsically motivated to enact change in students for the better. He hopes to support them To in realizing their goals and true potential. Furthermore, being a lover of all things mathematics, he takes great pride in getting students to feel excited about attending their math class instead of their more common feelings of anxiety or disinterest.
Most Memorable Moment: Adam, alongside many other #BowTieTuesday Spotlights, also struggled to pinpoint one particularly memorable moment during his career. More recently, however, he had the opportunity to perform with the New Brunswick High School Chamber Choir which he cited as an amazing experience. Allowing the students to witness a passion of his and being able to share that moment with some of our students was awesome.
Personal Learning Interests: A team player, Adam is currently focused on supporting our teachers and students in the development and execution of high-level tasks.

Adam’s Inside Scoop: He has been singing and performing in various choral groups since he was in the 5th grade.
Thank you, Adam, for your heartfelt efforts to improve education each and every day you step foot into a classroom. Who would have known that we would have crossed paths after my interview four years ago! I am grateful for the friendship we have and the positive impact you have had on my PLN since joining #ZebraNation! I truly appreciate all that you do to keep moving education forward.
Thanks for reading and sharing!
Bow-Tie Joe
