Content Considerations:
Sensitive Topics: Some aspects of American history, such as wars, slavery, civil rights struggles, and other historical injustices, maybe covered. These topics are essential for a comprehensive understanding of U.S. history and civics but may be upsetting or sensitive for some students.
Approach: The course will present these topics factually and sensitively, providing historical context and encouraging respectful discussions. The aim is to foster understanding and allow students to apply what they learn to current events.

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
Arizona Certificado de Docencia en Educación elemental
I hold an Arizona State Teacher's Certificate, with certification to teach middle school, grades 6-8, as well as an endorsement in Social Studies, which allows me to teach History and Civics in the state of Arizona at the middle school level. This course is specifically geared towards 8th grade students, as the State of Arizona opened this requirement to students in 8th grade so that they do not have to take this requirement in high school. Over the past two years working in the education system in Arizona, my students have had a 98% pass rate when studying in my class, and then taking the test in 8th grade. Reseñas
