TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Happy Teacher Resources is run by Christina, a writer, blogger, and voracious reader (and aspiring teacherpreneur) who is passionate about literature, politics, and education. For the last several years, I've been making resources for my mom's Civics class -- and now, I want to share those resources with all of you! My mom, Sue, is a veteran teacher of over 30 years, currently teaching 7th Grade Civics. (Formerly, she was an 8th Grade American History teacher, and before that an ESE Reading teacher.) Sue is certified in the state of Florida to teach Social Studies (grades 6-12), English (6-12), and Reading (K-12), and has won both Reading Teacher of the Year and Social Studies Teacher of the Year.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I like to challenge students to think critically and to exercise their creativity, with projects that have them using both their hands and minds.

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

Christina is in the process of pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science. Sue has a Bachelor's from Ball State University and is certified to teach Social Studies (grades 6-12), English (6-12), and Reading (K-12).
