Currently, she is the Project Director of over $2.5 million in grants aimed at improving teachers’ content knowledge and instructional skills throughout the Permian Basin. In addition to her grant activities, Dr. Ratheal provides assistance pro bono to regional private, public, and charter schools or individual teachers as requested including classroom observations, workshops and campus visits to work with teachers who are having difficulties with either mathematical content or instructional strategies. She provides leadership in the following regional and state initiatives: 1) Mathematics Vertical Team; 2) College and Career Readiness Standards; and 3) AVID. She has been invited to speak and has presented at a number of international STEM conferences throughout the world as well as within the United States.
