Hi, I'm Cynthia Goforth
Texas-certified mathematics educator with 14 years of teaching experience across high school, dual credit, and full-time community college instruction. I build digital, TEKS-aligned Algebra 2 curriculum on Canvas, DeltaMath, Desmos, and LaTeX—and I use Python to read student data fast enough to act on it.
I teach Algebra 2 honors and on-level sections at Amarillo High School, with a current cohort of 147 students. My classroom runs on the same digital stack a strong online program needs: Canvas LMS with DeltaMath Integral pushing grades back through LTI, Desmos for exploration, and LaTeX-set assessments shared across the department.
I built and lead a tiered TSI prep program with three parallel tracks—retake candidates, foundational support, and enrichment for students who already passed. I run my own statistical analysis in Python to figure out who is two points away from clearing the TSI graduation threshold and which interventions are actually moving the needle.
Online instruction isn't a pivot for me. Between full-time community college teaching, remote technical writing for the Texas Education Agency's IMRA process, and building a growing library of Canvas-compatible HTML lessons, it's an extension of what I already build.
A growing library of Algebra 2 materials aligned to Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills, covering both honors and on-level pacing. Authored in LaTeX with Canvas-ready exports.
View on GitHub →Browser-based TSI Assessment practice tool built with HTML and JavaScript. Designed to load fast, work on any device, and give students friction-free practice access. A Google Apps Script version is deployed inside my Canvas course for grade tracking.
Interactive React-based visualization for cubic and inverse function transformations. Originally built as a Google Apps Script tool to embed in Canvas pages; the standalone web version is the same activity students use in my Algebra 2 course.
Python-based analysis projects from my UT Austin Data Analytics post-graduate program. The same techniques I use to analyze SAT, TSI, and unit-assessment outcomes in my live classroom.

View on GitHub →My on-level Algebra 2 students outperformed comparison sections by an average of 28 points at a statistically significant margin. I traced the advantage to a structured prep week I had built and tested.
