TEACHING EXPERIENCE

16 years

MY TEACHING STYLE

I am mad about history! History is incredibly interesting, and as state standards become increasingly important, I wanted to make sure that I can still teach history in a creative and comprehensive way. My lessons have really helped students grasp the importance of what is being taught in order to appreciate history as well as find success with assessments... all while having some fun and engagement along the way!
