Students will develop historical interpretation skills, refine critical thinking skills, and gain a deeper understanding of why it is important to study the way the world works. Guided reading of non-fiction encourages study skills that can lead to greater reading comprehension. Class discussion promotes good communication skills, and encourages mutual respect for people with different opinions. 

I have a BA in Political Science, History, and Secondary Education and a MA in American Studies. I have over 10 years of experience teaching high school and college students social studies and critical thinking skills, and have been developing curriculum for homeschooled students for the last 7 years. I am currently serving as an Education Ambassador for the Council on Foreign Relations and have been selected as a Teacher Ambassador for Retro Report. My expertise in teaching is in helping students see the many ways that history, geography, politics, and economics intersect.
