Learners will be able to retell the significant time periods in Alaska history.
Learners will be able to describe the five main ecosystems in Alaska and tell why they are essential to Alaska and sustaining life.

I have a bachelor's degree in history, and my final research project was on the history and Indigenous cultures of Alaska. I am currently a PhD student at the University of Alaska Fairbanks in the Indigenous Studies program and I have completed several semester classes about Natural Resource Management (NRM) through this program.

I have studied Marine Biology and Forest Ecology. I have lived in the Arctic and studied the ecosystems when I worked as a reading specialist in Utqiagvik (Barrow) Alaska. I am a trained Naturalist and Guide in Alaska, including for the Alaska Capitol. I currently work as a naturalist, teaching children about nature. I also sit on the board of Sustainable Alaska.

This class is designed to support unique learning needs, such as neurodivergent, ADHD and   struggling readers.  As an ESL teacher, I also support students who are English language learners.

Students should have understanding of writing and research skills.
