About the store
Thank you for visiting me at Teachers Pay Teachers! My resources draw upon thirty years of teaching middle school Social Studies and a long-time love for writing. I work hard to provide practical, creative, and thoughtful resources for history, civics, geography, writing across the content areas, social-emotional learning, and so much more. I earned a Masters of Teaching and Curriculum from Penn State and a BA of Secondary Education Social Studies from York College of PA. In addition to teaching Social Studies for 30 years, I served as a martial arts instructor for 29 and have written compulsively since my second-grade teacher read my Star Trek story to the class.

Experience

Thank you for visiting me at Teachers Pay Teachers! My resources draw upon thirty years of teaching middle school Social Studies and a long-time love for writing. I work hard to provide practical, creative, and thoughtful resources for history, civics, geography, writing across the content areas, social-emotional learning, and so much more. I earned a Masters of Teaching and Curriculum from Penn State and a BA of Secondary Education Social Studies from York College of PA. In addition to teaching Social Studies for 30 years, I served as a martial arts instructor for 29 and have written compulsively since my second-grade teacher read my Star Trek story to the class.

Teaching style

Challenging students with new ways to examine history, to express ideas and discoveries through multiple media, and to value learning beyond letter grades is an approach to teaching I have clung to and continue to develop with the help of colleagues, and, most importantly, my students.
