One of January’s  Teachers of the Month is Cris Goodale, he was nominated by several students one stated: “Goodale makes hard math concepts easy.”

Goodale has been a teacher for 35 years, 29 of those years have been spent here at ADM.

He decided to become a teacher to help young children develop logical thinking and that math is easy and never changing. He thinks he’s been honored as Teacher of the Month because some students see the benefit of old-style teaching.
