I have my Bachelors and Masters from La. Tech.  I have been teaching for 30 years.  My teaching experience includes 4 years at Elm Grove Middle School, 19 years at Youree Drive Middle School and 8 years at CMM.  I am married and have 2 daughters ages 23 and 20

I am one of the Intro-Algebra teachers for eighth grade math. In addition, I also teach seventh grade advanced and regular math. I have a master’s degree in Principalship, and a Supervision certification. I obtained my Early Adolescence Mathematics National Board certification in 2009. I think it is very important to set and accomplish short-term and long-term goals. I believe in a strong work ethic inside and outside the classroom for not only myself but also from my students. I also believe in dreaming. I believe if you can envision what you want, then you can and will achieve the things you desire. My goal each year is to be a better teacher than I was the previous year. I believe anything is possible if you have the will power and desire to go for what you want. I also believe you should be passionate about the things you desire. I am married without children, and I like to read leadership and mystery books. My favorite authors are John Maxwell and Mary Higgins Clark. I have a cat named Missy. During my free time I like to work in the yard and hang out with my husband. Email address is trishbratlie@gmail.com twbratlie@caddo.k12.la.us Email is the best way to contact me. I check my email each morning and afternoon. If there is anything I can do, lease email or call me. Together We Create a Masterpiece!

My name is Laura Hays. This is my fourth year at Caddo Middle Magnet and I am excited to be part of this great school. I have been teaching for 22 years. I am married and have one daughter. I also have three beautiful granddaughters.

I have been teaching 6th grade for 26 years.  This is my ninth at Caddo Middle Magnet.  I earned my teaching degree at Nicholls University in Thibodaux, LA.  My certification allows me to teach grades 1st through 8th.  I have 3 children that range in age from 21 years old to 12 years old.

Teaching is my second career - one which I chose based on a desire to help young people develop a life-long love of learning. It is important to me to have all of my students succeed and to help those who are "math-a-phobes" lose their fear of math. I obtained a B.S. from LaTech in Business Management, then returned to school to complete the necessary graduate and mathematics courses required to become a certifed secondary math teacher. My certification allows me to teach any math subject from 6th through 12th grades. I began teaching at Huntington High School, where I taught Algebras I and II. I later transferred to Caddo Middle Magnet, where I have taught Intro Algebra, Research and Study Skills, and remedial LEAP prep. In 2009 I achieved National Board Certification in early adolescent math (ages 11- 15). I believe that teaching and learning should be serious, but enjoyable, experiences for everyone involved. I am committed to my students, and I welcome input from them and their families. concerns. I have three pieces of advice for achieving success: (1) Work when you need to work, so you can play when you want to play. (2) You may never know the answer if you don't ask the question. (3) You don't have to like it; you just have to do it. My motto is... We are what we repeated do. Excellence then is not an act but a habit. (Aristotle)

Mission For The ClassWe will prepare for high school, Algebra I, and the LEAP, as well as discover ways in which math is incorporated into our daily lives. We will work to develop study skills and organizational techniques to help you achieve greater success in all of your studies.
