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 and learning. You can usually find me in the middle of 2-3 books or watching a documentary. 

This class is designed to get to students to ask questions about history. They will be encouraged to not only use the resources that are provided during class, but also to conduct their own research and discover new questions and sources. Some of the sources that I will be using in class on odd weeks are, but not limited to: 
(Some of these will offer theories that students will be encouraged to discount or to find further evidence of.) 
(Student presentations will be on even weeks.)
