World History Teacher

Aug 2022 - Jul 2023
World History teacher bringing to life the past to inform the present. Students give input on what they would like to learn and I tailor my lessons to relate back to present day issues in the world around them. My students engage in critical thinking and understand that writing as well as discussions are the bedrock to being historians. My classes are grounded in seeing the humanity in history and speak to the experiences of people who actually lived it. World History teacher bringing to life the past to inform the present.
