In this one time class, we will take a look at the life and amazing career of Alexander Hamilton. The first 30-40 minutes of the class will consist of a powerpoint presentation that will include a detailed look at his childhood, growing up in poverty, how he came to the states and went to college, his relationship with George Washington, the role he had in shaping the country, and how he died. The last 10-15 minutes of class will be an open discussion of what we have learned and answer any questions that the students may have.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree from Louisiana State University
I have been an educator on Outschool since February of 2018. I have my MBA and MHA, both of which have taught me the value of conducting research and asking questions. I have a passion for history, organization, reading, and learning. You can usually find me in the middle of 2-3 books or watching a documentary.
I am also an Outschool ACE Educator, which means that I continually seek out ways to improve my teaching skills and knowledge, as well as the learner experience. Some of the seminars/courses that I have attended in the past are: Foundations for Teaching and Learning About Native Americans; The Presence and Absence of Asian America: What Truths Lie Beyond the Headlines; Using the “Diary of Anne Frank” to Amplify Students’ Voices; Painting a Just Picture – Art and Activism.
