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, organization, reading, and learning. You can usually find me in the middle of 2-3 books or watching a documentary. I am also an Outschool ACE Educator, which means that I continually seek out ways to improve my teaching skills and knowledge, as well as the learner experience. Some of the seminars/courses that I have attended in the past are: Foundations for Teaching and Learning About Native Americans; The Presence and Absence of Asian America: What Truths Lie Beyond the Headlines; Using the “Diary of Anne Frank” to Amplify Students’ Voices; Painting a Just Picture – Art and Activism.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
In this class, there will be discussions about the 4 U.S. Presidents who have been assassinated and other attempts at presidents lives. These discussions will be in an historical context and will be at an age appropriate manner. Live – There may be some Youtube videos that are seen during this class. I will share my screen and learners will not need to access them on their own.
