This course will focus on the Elizabethan Era all the way up to industrialization. The class structure is an open discussion format where each week students are challenged to be involved through either an academic approach or through social-emotional learning. We will bring world events to life and connect students to them through interaction. Through a myriad of teaching strategies, i.e. games, slides, video clips, grouping, etc, students will learn world history by being fully engaged in the discussions.
Learning Goals
Students will be able to discuss world events in a conversational manner. They will know the details of people, places, and events from the curriculum.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am currently certified as a substitute teacher in the state of California and am in the middle of completing a Master's Degree in Education pursuing a single subject credential in Social Sciences including History, SocioIogy, and Psychology. I also have a strong background in Business Planning, Finance, and Career Counseling. I have a bachelor's degree from Utah State University and an associate's degree from BYU-Idaho. My wife and I have six kids and one grandchild, so our hobbies often revolve around the activities they are involved in.
I love teaching! I seek to create meaningful experiences that inspire and motivate students. Teaching kids is fulfilling because I get to witness their curiosity, creativity, and growth firsthand. It's rewarding to play a role in shaping their minds and helping them develop the skills they need to succeed in life.
Teaching world history is a passion of mine! By diving into world history, you're not just reading about the past; you're exploring the story of humanity itself, full of drama, creativity, and adventure!Reviews
