I am a licensed teacher from the state of Virginia with a Bachelor's degree in History and minors in Religious Studies and Psychology. This course will be taught according to common core standards, and in alignment with both the Virginia Department of Education and  the California Department of Education's World History course requirements.

Homework assignments will be limited to completing assignments started in class, and short reading/video assignments. The formal assessments may take some after-class time to complete depending on the format a student selects.

Students will be given informal and formal assessments to check for understanding, and to asses student progress as part of a growth mindset. Grades are available upon parent request.

55 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class.
