Teacher expertise and credentials
I love history, and as a child living in England, my family and I would often find old coins in our garden. I have taken Archaeology in college and I have taught this class to homeschool students, who came to love archaeology and asked questions of what they could do to make a difference in the world we live in.  My goal in this class is to share with students that they too can be archaeologists in today's world and make a difference.
