Students will gain knowledge of influential teenagers throughout history. 
Students will be able to analyze, discuss, and apply then lives of influential teens throughout history to their own lives. 

I graduated from the McKay School of Education at Brigham Young University with a B.A. in History Teaching and a minor in English Teaching. I have taken multicultural education classes provided through Brigham Young University. I have taught history (including United States history) to diverse children three years in public and charter schools. I have a teaching certificate for History and English. I am currently beginning my Masters in Learning and Instructional Design (a program dedicated to curriculum design and methodology) with an emphasis on Online Learning and Educational Technology. I am passionate about history (I've wanted to be a history teacher since 5th grade!). I grew up in Virginia, visiting the Smithsonian, Jamestown, Civil War battlefields, and other museums and historical landmarks for field trips. I am passionate about the youth today and their potential. My earliest students are now in their early twenties and I love seeing the stamp they've already made in this world. I also have children of my own and teach them that they can do or be anything they set their mind to. 

I use interviews from Claudette Colvin and Barbara Johns as well as their own articles to make sure I present the information from their perspective and point of view. I also use numerous news articles from all over the media bias spectrum and peer-reviewed historical sources.
