TEACHING EXPERIENCE
In my classroom, students develop critical thinking skills to form educated opinions about historical and current events.
I help students see the world in new ways and uncover the connections between history and their present-day lives, while developing the technological and collaborative skills that they will need in the future.
My goal is to prepare students for the classrooms, careers, and political arenas waiting for them after high school graduation.
