My own education history
Masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction with minor in History
BA in Social Science and Secondary Education with Minor in I have taught various subjects and grades since beginning my teaching career in 1999.
I was originally certified in Secondary Social Studies, but after moving to TN I added middle grades as well. I also have a minor and have taught 5th and 8th grade science sections in the past.
Much of my early material is still on paper, but as I convert the relevant items to a digital format I will post materials for sale.
