He is in his fifth year of teaching. Kareem worked for two years as a 6th Grade Math Teacher at Young Scholars Charter School in Philadelphia as part of Teach for America. Before that, Kareem was a City Year-AmeriCorps member in Boston, Massachusetts. He graduated as a student-athlete and basketball player from Colby College in 2013 with a Bachelor’s degree in Economics and Urban Education. After Colby he went to the University of Pennsylvania and graduated in 2015 with a Master’s in Urban Education. His favorite thing about teaching at Compass is having the freedom to develop a model that serves all children and to make all students love math. Mr. K spent his summer in Mexico to improve his Spanish and now hopes to speak it more with his students and to continue to help them grow as Learners & Leaders!
