About the store
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.

Experience
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.

Teaching style
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.
