Students will learn about the early days of the United States from the formation of the Constitution, how Washington created the role and responsibilities of the President, public reaction and rebellion, why Thomas Jefferson made the Louisiana Purchase, and the causes and effects of the War of 1812. Our goals for this class are to: Write about what we learn. Use primary sources and different types of media (such as film and art) to learn about historical events. Learn about historical events through the context of geography and how it affected different events. Research, organize, and present their research on various topics, events, and figures. Discuss topics while focusing on using specific details, facts, and reasons to support their opinions. Use technology to research both past and current events and topics. To be able to construct arguments and rebuttals Recognized Inequities and their causes Understand differences between present and past perspectives, and apply it to present day issues
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.

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
This class will utilize Youtube videos for sharing of lecture videos, as well as supplemental lessons. All Youtube videos are embedded into the Outschool platform. This class may also utilize Kahoot. Learners will be given a direct link and game pin to play. This class will cover early American history, which includes topics of violence, domination, racism, slavery, and discrimination. All topics will be discussed at an age appropriate level. (Please check the age group of the class before registering.) Some of the sources used for this course use derogatory and racist language towards Native Americans, African Americans, and others. My goal for this course is to be inclusive and to highlight how history is often more commonly written from the perspective of the perceived winner and to create an inclusive class that highlights multiple perspectives of history.
