A biography of Alan Roemer

Many, many years ago, on the 8th day of October, a young man was born by the name of Alan Roemer. He grew up in Weatherford, TX and even at an early age, he felt the desire to teach. Whenever he played school with his cousins, he was always the teacher. He will sadly recount the story to you of how one of his elementary teachers gave him the extra memeographed worksheets and some unadopted sample textbooks so he could use them in his pretend school. He graduated from Weatherford High School in 1991 and attended Weatherford College for three years and Tarleton State University for two years, Yes, he is aware that many people spend more time at major universities than at junior colleges... After graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics in 1996, Alan Roemer applied for a math job with Weatherford ISD. He taught one [tiring/tough] year at WHS and was then shuffled with the ninth graders to Hall Junior High as a second junior high was added to the district. He taught there for six years before the growing pains of WISD added a Ninth Grade Center. After teaching there for two years, he finally made the leap to teach something other than ninth graders again. He is still teaching at Weatherford High School and is even the head of the math department. He has taught PSAT prep classes, algebra 1, geometry (regular and Pre-AP), algebra 2 (regular and pre-AP), AP Calculus (AB), pre-calculus, Algebraic Reasoning, Advanced Quantitative Reasoning (AQR) and he has even been a part of WISD’s online classes and former blended courses. He has also taught/teaches dual credit and dual enrollment classes for Weatherford College and Tarleton State University.  At last count, he has taught over 28 years all for WISD!
       In addition to teaching students, "Roemer" (as he has come to be known) taught hundreds of new teachers through Weatherford College’s Alternative Certification Program. He trained over 100 WISD teachers through the Intel Teach program (and more than that same number of new teachers for WC). He has led several workshops for various topics in mathematics as well as for computer applications like Geometer’s Sketchpad and Canvas LMS.  He is a strong proponent of technology, even if he's not always good at it (for example, this webpage was a template...)
     Currently, in addition to teaching, he recently earned on his Masters of Arts in Mathematics through the University of Houston.  When he’s not teaching he can often be found singing in the choir (or singing solos) at First Baptist Church. Also, even though he’s not good at it, he has tackled numerous home improvement projects and will gladly show you the facebook pictures to brag (including the broken leg from his clumsiness)... Even though he should be giving all of the credit of the remodel projects to his best friend, Chase. He is still single and no children except his pets, one cat and one dog.
