About Leone Learning SystemsMy company, Leone Learning Systems, Inc. is the result of a long-time dream to combine my love of programming with my love of working with kids. Mission StatementTo promote rich understandings of mathematics and computer science through research, development and delivery of high quality curriculum and software.
About meI am currently working full time as a teacher at Chiaravalle Montessori School in Evanston, Illinois. My education includes an M. Ed. in Montessori Education from Loyola College in Maryland and an M.S. in Computer Science and B.A. in Math from the City College of New York. I also spent a couple of years at Northwestern going back and forth between graduate programs in Computer Science and Learning Sciences. The first job I ever loved was the three years I spent as a Montessori teacher. After that, I spent several years as a computer programmer and analyst in industry and academia. From 1997 to 2003 I worked as an educational software developer at Northwestern and eventually picked up part-time work as a teacher for Northwestern's Center for Talent Development. Now, in my one-person corporation, I divide my work between teaching/tutoring, developing curriculum, writing, and developing software. My favorite things include spending time with my wife Dolores, hanging out with my two daughters and my friends, teaching, computer programming, meditation, and running. Here are Dolores and I finishing our first race, the Chicago marathon, on October 12, 2003. Everybody who finished got a medal. |
