Social Studies Support System

Since 2013, I have been passionate about teaching history in both middle and high school across various levels, including grade-level, college-prep, and honors Pre-AP. In addition to world history, I have taught Practical Law and have guided students through numerous AP courses such as U.S. Government, Comparative Government, Human Geography, Seminar, and Research. My teaching experience spans a diverse range of students, from gifted individuals and college-prep/honors students to general education learners and those with learning disabilities. Prior to 2013, I worked as an attorney and currently, I am the Lead Curriculum Developer for a private company.

My teaching style combines elements from various educational approaches to create an inclusive, engaging, and effective learning environment. My approach is student-centered learning accomplished through the use of a variety of interactive and engaging techniques. As classrooms and teaching styles vary, I typically include ways to increase/decrease rigor and other ideas in my products, so purchasers can tailor my products to their specific needs. I also seamlessly integrate technology into my teaching, ensuring a consistent and engaging experience with every resource I upload to my store. My slideshows are designed for "bell-to-bell" teaching and include a daily agenda, bellringer, learning objectives, core content, a class discussion prompt/activity, and an exit ticket. My 90-minute classes are carefully structured to balance instruction and engagement: no more than 40 minutes are spent lecturing, with the remaining time dedicated to interactive activities. In my store, you will find a variety of activities, from pre-activities (introducing subjects with no prior knowledge required) to enrichment activities (for deeper exploration) and review activities. I am a firm believer in active learning as the best way for students to grasp content, so my store features numerous simulation activities, including engaging plays.
