I have a master of arts degree in American history, and bachelor of arts degrees in political science, English, and communications with a journalism emphasis. I am lead teacher at The Foster Woods Folk School, which focuses on humanities education within an ecosocial justice framework aimed at celebrating and improving our connections as a global community of humans and non-humans living on Planet Earth. In this role, I work with learners of all ages with a primary focus of working with learners in grades three through 12. I was the director of a social justice center for three years during which time I routinely taught about and facilitated conversations about historical and current political events for both teen and adults participants. Before that, I was a newspaper editor and reporter for 15 years. I have been teaching history, social studies, and English Language Arts classes for several years.

1 file available upon enrollmentPaper or digital copy of E.B. White’s novel 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘰𝘵𝘵𝘦’𝘴 𝘞𝘦𝘣.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
As we study literature, in particular traditional literature, students will engage with stories from different cultures, religions, and times. Learners will be encouraged to recognize that traditional literature often belongs to specific people groups' cultures and histories. We will respect such literature as the oral histories and sacred texts given to people groups by their ancestors. In some traditional literature, learners may encounter brief mentions of violence. Our novel study, 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘰𝘵𝘵𝘦’𝘴 𝘞𝘦𝘣, deals with the slaughter of animals, death, and loss. In addition, the history, news, and social studies readers may contain descriptions and discussions of wars, colonization, disease, current events, and death. All subjects and topics will be covered in a manner that is as age-appropriate as possible, but some learners may be especially sensitive to these topics.
Students will need either a paper or digital copy of E.B. White’s 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘰𝘵𝘵𝘦’𝘴 𝘞𝘦𝘣 for Unit 1. I will provide PDF readers for materials covered in Units 2-4. For the Unit 2 reader, I have adapted some of the traditional literature we will be reading to be appropriate for a third-grade audience. Sources from which traditional literature will be taken or that I have used in adaptations include: Aesop’s Fables-The Library of Congress “The Pot of Wisdom: Ananse stories” by Adwoa Badoe “A Listening Wind: Native Literature from the Southeast” edited by Marcia Haag “Sky Loom: Native American Myth, Story, and Song” edited by Brian Swann “Hunters, Predators and Prey: Inuit Perceptions of Animals” by Frédéric Laugrand and Jarich Oosten “Outlaw Heroes in Myth and History” by Graham Seal “American Tall Tales” by Mary Pope Osborne Grimm’s Complete Fairytales “The Annotated Hans Christian Andersen” edited by Maria Tatar “Greek Mythology: The Gods, Goddesses, and Heroes Handbook: From Aphrodite to Zeus, a Profile of Who's Who in Greek Mythology” by Liv Albert Content in the Unit 4 history reader was compiled by me.
