"Mr. Lockman made the transition back into math very easy for us…several of us having been away from Algebra for a long time."
"He encourages student-to-student study partner relationships and helps guide partnerships where a student who has a better grasp on things can partner with a student who may need a little more help." "…fostering peer-to-peer learning."
"He fosters good communication between himself and his students, providing a good comfort level for students to provide constructive feedback."
"Mr. Lockman truly loves math and his enthusiasm and energy flows through his teaching techniques. We would be so engaged and involved throughout the class period that the time would fly by."
"I have never had such an enjoyable math instructor!"
"…sense of dedication to his students…he constantly fosters communication and feedback to know if we 'get it.' And if they don't, then he approaches it (the subject matter) from a different angle or allows another student to provide input to better understanding."
"I know that he spent many additional hours seeking out special help for a student with special needs, never giving up until that student was best served."
"He repeated instruction on a topic several times instead of giving the info once for a longer period of time. This helped with retention."
"Mr. Lockman ran a very organized class, however, he allowed time to back up or refresh us if we were struggling with some of the work."
"He truly shows that learning continues beyond the walls of the classroom."
