Civics Hacked
Tallahassee, Florida, United States
About the store
I've been teaching for 21 years, with 17 of those in 7th grade civics right here in Florida. I hold a master's degree in social science education from Florida State University, and from 2012–2015 I taught as an adjunct professor at Flagler University — preparing the next generation of teachers for their own classrooms.
I know this EOC inside and out — not from a prep book, but from watching real kids take it year after year. Everything in this store gets used in my classroom before it ever shows up here.

Teaching style
My resources are built on evidence-informed instructional practices — specifically retrieval practice, spaced repetition, and cognitive load theory. That means less busy work and more of what actually moves information into long-term memory.
You won't find clip art overload or decorative fluff here. What you will find are clean, structured activities designed to do one thing: help students retain and apply civics content when it counts.
