About

Shannon taught secondary mathematics from 1992 to 2020 with Edmonton Public Schools, conducting research in areas such as proving, visual reasoning, online education, and inquiry-based instruction. Her graduate work (1997-2000) revolved around polynomial mathematics using hand-made manipulatives to bridge learning from concrete to pictorial to symbolic. In Shannon’s last years in the classroom, she taught a small group of student survivors of trauma in inner-city Edmonton. Shannon has been teaching at the U of A since 2020 and is currently working on a book which calls on teachers to use classroom practice and notions of cognition to combat the global metacrisis and bring about a sustainable world.  In addition, Shannon Sookochoff plays the ukulele as well as can be expected.
