Teacher expertise and credentials
I have taught history classes both in person and online for 7 years. I love incorporating hands on projects and virtual field trips to enhance the learning experience. My training also includes workshops from The American Revolution Museum in Philadelphia and The American Battlefield Trust. I believe that history must be taught from all perspectives and it's important to learn about the good, the bad, and the ugly in order for us to understand who we are as humans. Reviews
