I have been a middle/high school Social Studies teacher for the last four years. I currently hold a 7-12 Social Studies teaching license in the state of Ohio and a Bachelor of Arts in History. I have covered the European Renaissance with my students over the past four years, and have refined these lessons to be very engaging and impactful.
