Let's meet the woman who is credited with starting the modern environmental movement! In this class, we will take a look at the life and influence of Rachel Carson. She was an American marine biologist, author, and conservationist whose book "Silent Spring" is credited with advancing the global environmental movement. We will examine the book's legacy in popular culture, music, literature, and art. We will examine how chemical companies tried to discredit her, and what impact her April 3, 1964 television special had on public opinion of environmental needs. We will talk about how society and people have changed since the 1960's and what we do in our everyday lives to make a difference to the environment.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree from Louisiana State University
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.
