Class experience
US Grade 4 - 7
Each week we will meet and learn about a new President of the United States. This is a ongoing class that meets every week. The class is interactive and students are invited to participate, ask questions, and offer contributions to the classroom experience. We also use a program in this class called "Nearpod" where students will have access to my weekly slides, polls, VR of locations we are visiting that are pertinent to our president that week, videos -- and our "Time to Climb" quiz at the...
Each week students will be able to give some biographical information about the president we've learned about, understand where this presidents fits in American history, and articulate a few of their key ideas or accomplishments.
Former Deputy Director of the historic home of President Ronald Reagan where I worked with people first-hand who were speechwriters, advisors and aides to President Ronald Reagan, who gave one of the speeches listed in this class. 2002 graduate of Indiana Wesleyan University with a bachelor of science degree in political science and history, with an emphasis on American history. Former Intercollegiate Studies Institute Honors Fellow. Trained by top experts in communications and speechwriting on the power of persuasion, including image coaches and communications consultants to presidential candidates. Author of the book Backdoor to the White House. Lifelong student of history. We live in a big and fascinating world and one of my goals with my classes is to help kids develop an interest and appreciation for the world around them and different cultures. My classes draw from my own experiences as a world traveler. I've visited and lived abroad in twenty-two countries. I also have several years of experience in working with students as a teacher and mentor and look forward to having the opportunity to invest in the life of your learner. I love teaching but more than anything I love investing in the lives of young people and bringing them along on a journey.
