This class is designed to give upper elementary/middle school students a working knowledge of US history. The story of The United States begins with a rebellion and ends examining democracy itself. In this course students will learn everything they need to know about the USA from the height of the British Empire to the functioning of US democracy. Students will not need to bring anything to this course (although note-taking is encouraged it is not required). This is a lecture-style course...
This course is meant to give students the framework they need to understand American history. It will cover the bare essentials in a way that is meant to get students excited about history and help them make sense of what they already know. This class is perfect for learners that simply need a bit of review, have no history knowledge whatsoever, or just fans of US history in general.
I have 16 years of experience as an educator. The majority of my years were as an international educator. I teach history to students from a wide variety of backgrounds. For example one year I had a German student, an American student, and a Japanese student all in the same class when we were covering WW2. I teach history from an objective standpoint and make sure to respect the beliefs and cultures of all the students in my class. History is how we tell our stories, and my job as an educator is to help students find their own stories of how they go to be where they are. History is my passion and look forward to bringing that passion to my students in a way that is fair, honest, equitable and respectful to all of my diverse students.
