Students will learn about history through rich historical fiction literature and then come to class to solidify the learning by discussing the book and completing fun activities about the history learned in each story.

I have a Bachelors degree in psychology and a Masters degree in Mental Health Counseling.  I have been trained extensively throughout my Bachelors and Masters degree and throughout my 20 years of experience working with people in the Child Welfare industry in how to work with marginalized groups of people and people who have experienced discrimination and racism.  When these topics present in the classroom discussions will be had regarding the stereotype or discriminatory statements made in the text or in the classroom.  Alternative views and views and perspective of the group of people being stereotyped or discriminated against will be discussed .  Students will be given the opportunity to learn from the experience and express their opinion and viewpoint to enable them to learn from the experience of these groups of people.  

If needed, resources such as the American Psychological Associations resources on discussion race and discrimination in the classroom will be consulted.
