Students will learn about the history of Philadelphia, Pa., the Yellow Fever epidemic of 1793, medical practices of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, and discuss what life was like during this time period. 

I have been an educator on Outschool since February of 2018. I have my MBA and MHA, both of which have taught me the value of conducting research and asking questions.  I have a passion for history, organization, reading, and learning. You can usually find me in the middle of 2-3 books or watching a documentary.

I am also an Outschool ACE Educator, which means that I continually seek out ways to improve my teaching skills and knowledge, as well as the learner experience. Some of the seminars/courses that I have attended in the past are: Foundations for Teaching and Learning About Native Americans; The Presence and Absence of Asian America: What Truths Lie Beyond the Headlines; Using the “Diary of Anne Frank” to Amplify Students’ Voices; Painting a Just Picture – Art and Activism; Teaching Hard History in Grades K-5; Make Good the Promises: Reconstruction and Its Legacies; Choices in Little Rock: An Approach to Teaching the Civil Rights Movement.
