I graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 2001. In December 2006, I completed my Master's degree at Villanova University.

 
I live with my husband, 2 daughters (Sloane - 6 and Elin - 5) and my dog Ernie.  
 
This will be my 19th year teaching at Upper Merion Middle School. I started at Upper Merion teaching 8th grade.  During my time here, I have also taught 7th grade for 4 years. This year I will be teaching Algebra IA, Algebra I and Algebra II.  Before coming to Upper Merion, I taught in a suburban school outside of Annapolis, Maryland. 

I absolutely love math and am excited about all of the topics that I teach.  The past couple of years were very challenging for everyone. I'm looking forward to a great year and getting to see everyone's faces this year.   I am always looking for new and exciting ways to share my love of math with each of you and hope you all have as much fun with math as I do.

I want all students to have success, I encourage everyone to ask questions if you need extra assistance and share your accomplishments and proud moments with me as well.  I am here for you!  If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at jberton@umasd.org, and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
 
I am anxiously awaiting another great year at Upper Merion Middle School.
