Teaching style

Throughout my career, I have utilized a variety of teaching styles to meet students needs. It has been my goal to bring my passion to every lesson to create a great experience for all students. I continuously reflect on how to use primary documents, technology, scholarly articles, and other materials. I organize all of my courses through a thematic approach that focuses on the cultivation of sophisticated thinking skills. All lessons are designed with the perspective of how holding students accountable but going beyond information in the textbook.
