Parental Guidance
Please be advised that this class discusses the sensitive topic of war and death. I do not discuss the specifics of these topics, as the lessons are meant to be introductory for elementary students. I do encourage learners to consider the reasons for these conflicts and discuss whether those reasons are “fair”. I believe introducing world history broadly to elementary students prepares them for more in-depth study in middle school and beyond.
*Since this class requires the use of Nearpod, each learner must be able to use the features of Nearpod, including, typing or audio recording responses on the keyboard and using drawing tools onscreen. Lessons can be accessed through a tablet or smartphone. No account required*

Arizona Teaching Certificate
Doctoral Degree from Chapman University School of Law
I studied history with an emphasis in art history as an undergraduate at the University of California, Santa Barbara. In order to further my understanding of world history, I studied abroad in both London and Paris, travelling extensively through Europe to see historical sites personally. My love of history and geo-political issues led me to recieve a doctorate in law. Additionally, I have increased my learning of the power of art for both memory and healing by earning a certificate in therepeudic art . Reviews
