About the store
Hi, I'm Tyler, and thanks for visiting my store! I'm a high school teacher with extensive experience having taught Economics & Personal Finance, U.S. History, Government and Algebra.
Prior to teaching, I worked in a corporate role where I was putting decks together regularly for a variety of different audiences. I try to approach teaching the same way I would any other job in that any material I create, I would be comfortable with anyone seeing it, whether it be the CEO or the school principal. I take a lot of pride in producing high quality teaching material because if I were a student, that's what I'd want to look at in class, and if I were buying from another teacher, that's what I'd want to be buying.
Please always feel free to message me with any comments or questions about my material, and I always appreciate reviews!

Cuban Missile Crisis Activity
This is a great way for students to learn about the 13 days of the Cuban Missile Crisis. This handout is linked to an interactive micro-site on the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library site, which provides a detailed overview (including the use of primary sources) of what happened on each day of the crisis. There are questions on the handout associated with each of the 13 days for students to answer as they learn. The handout can either be printed for each student, or this works great as a digit

Causes of the Civil War - Explain and Rank
This is a great way to have students demonstrate their understanding of some of the causes leading up to the Civil War. For seven different events, students should explain in they own words why the event helped lead to a Civil War before ranking each event 1 (most responsible) to 7 (least responsible) and explaining their rationale. All seven events are significant, so I always tell my students there isn't really a right or wrong answer, so long as you explain your rationale. Many students will

Teaching style
I use a variety of different teaching methods, but you will find a lot of slide decks in my store because that's how I'm most comfortable introducing a new concept. I try to incorporate games and activities whenever possible, and you will see some of those throughout my store, whether it be Timeline, Who Wants to be a Millionaire, Name that President, etc. I also try my best to come up with analogies for difficult topics, which is why you'll see things in my store such as Burgernomics, Monetary Policy Football, Organ Failure vs Banking Crisis, etc. I'm always trying to come up with new games and activities for my classes, so I'm constantly adding new material to my store!
