Description

Class Experience

Students will improve their understanding of history, ancient civilizations, and the development of the holiday of  Valentine's Day and its traditions that have developed overtime. Students will also work on their communication and critical thinking skills. 
For the past decade, I have been encouraging students through education and personal development to explore the challenges of the past. Through my own personal education and professional development, I create a safe environment for students to learn about challenging topics of the past. My undergraduate is in history, focusing on United States and European integration of world cultures. My first master's degree is in education with a focus on English/Language Arts and global history while teaching middle and high school. My second master's degree is in history with a focus on world empires and cultures and United States/Europe during the premodern era and modern era. I am currently pursuing my PhD in history focusing on immigration and relations with indigenous peoples. 
45 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
This is a historical class that traces ancient events and traditions which includes animal slaughter, rituals, and the imprisonment and execution of people. Please be advised that some students may find this content a bit discontenting.
