Personal+Profile

My name is Caleb Abraham and I currently teach at Trinity Lutheran School in Delray Beach, Florida. This is my 6th year of teaching, but my 1st year outside of the state of Michigan. I currently teach 8th grade homeroom with 6th-8th grade science, as well as middle school engineering, which uses LEGO robotics to teach the principles of problem solving and engineering.

I graduated from Concordia University in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 2009 with a B.A. in Secondary Education with a major in Mathematics and a minor in History, as well as a Lutheran Teacher Diploma. After graduating, I accepted my first call to St. Peter Lutheran School in Hemlock, Michigan. I enjoyed my time at St. Peter but felt that the Lord was calling me to a new mission field in Florida.

My involvement in this masters program is one the many opportunities that I have had to continue my education. I was involved in PRIME, a math initiative in Michigan to help students improve their "math talk" and to better understand how mathematics may be applied to their lives. I am also currently involved in workshops centering on the implementation of the Next Generation Science Standards into my classroom. Both of these, along with this program, has greatly enhanced my teaching.

Apart from teaching, I enjoy spending time with my wife, Emily, who is also a teacher at Trinity (5th grade). I also enjoy golfing, Frisbee golf, snorkeling, soccer, tennis, and baseball. I am an avid sports fan, following all of the Detroit professional teams, as well as the Michigan Wolverines.
