As a nationally known speaker, Bill Rogge has conducted workshops and in-service training throughout the United States. He has taught mathematics for 30 years at the junior and senior high school levels. Bill has also taught numerous college mathematics courses, including the secondary mathematics course for prospective student teachers at Nebraska Wesleyan University.

Bill is an active member of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) and has presented at numerous national and regional NCTM conferences as well as more than a dozen state mathematics conferences. He regularly reviews prospective articles and books for The Mathematics Teacher, and for twenty years has published a regular column entitled Rogge's Ruminations for the Nebraska Association of Mathematics Teacher newsletter. Bill was the recipient of the 2001 Don Miller Mathematics Award from the Nebraska Association of Teachers of Mathematics.

Bill's love for mathematics also manifests itself in his 21 years as Northeast High School's Math Club sponsor. Not only do his students continually place high in varied mathematics competitions throughout the state and region, but many go on to pursue careers involving mathematics. He recently formed and coached Nebraska's first American Regions Mathematical League team.

With more than 22 years of emphasis in problem solving, Bill's informal, humorous delivery is interspersed with stories to illustrate specific points. His presentations are always guided by the question, "If I were in the audience, what would I expect to learn and use from the workshop?" In this workshop, expect a wealth of practical ready-to-use information and an atmosphere of stimulation and fun!
