Teacher expertise and credentials
Illinois Teaching Certificate
I have taught several classes related to racism, segregation, prejudice, enslavement, and cooking on Outschool. I feel that Juneteenth is an often overlooked but significant holiday in American History. Traditionally, Juneteenth has not been taught in the schools. This is an opportunity to have in-depth learning of a very significant holiday. I created a Juneteenth Activity Booklet that can be a keepsake.
