大歷史專案 - A 學期
大歷史是一門獨特的歷史課程，因為它的目的是講述從大爆炸到現在的宇宙歷史，而不是專注於更狹窄的時間範圍。

Over the next 10 weeks, we will explore the last 13.7 billion years to understand our place in the universe. In our first session, we will focus on the period from the Big Bang through the beginnings of life on Earth. In the Big History Project (BHP), increasing levels of complexity are known as thresholds. We will cover thresholds 1-5, which include: The Big Bang, Stars and Elements, Our Solar System and Earth, and Life. Big History is a distinctive history course because it aims to tell the history of the Universe from the Big Bang to the present, rather than concentrating on a narrower timeframe. Since Big History addresses questions about how the Universe began and humanity's place within it, it is considered a modern, scientific origin story. This class will utilize the OER Project (formerly The Big History Project) website, along with other sources, to provide additional viewpoints and perspectives on various social, political, and historical issues. The website features video content, multi-leveled texts, and activities to engage students at their level, ensuring that all students can succeed. Students who opt for graded evaluation will complete a final project. I will work individually with each student to ensure the project meets their state or reporting agency requirements. Please contact me with any questions or concerns. Class Structure: - Welcome: Introduction of the concept "Big Question" - Main Topic: Video clips and articles covering major lesson concepts - Activity: Lesson-based activity to enhance understanding - Discussion: Open-ended questions - Closing: Wrap-up and Q&A

教師專業知識和證書
學士學位 由 Northwood University
I have worked in education for over 15 years, the last 9 as a homeschool parent. My passion is helping students create a deeper understanding of complex material by examining different perspectives. The stories that are told matter, even more in today's world. Understanding another perspective and story can help us relate. I love sharing new diverse literature that is engaging and expands students' understanding. History can come alive using both novels and primary source materials in my classes. When examining history there are many factors that we will discuss including socioeconomic, religious, bias in narration and understanding who the narrator is. Critical thinking is a skill that all students will work on, while we engage in discussions about the topics covered students will be questioned to consider different perspectives and reasons for events or choices.
I started my schooling with a B.B.A. from Northwood University. After several years in the corporate climate I decided to go back to school to get a teaching degree. I attended Eastern Michigan University and finished my classes and testing required for the teaching degree. The semester I was to start student teaching one of my children became seriously ill. Once they were recovered I was starting to homeschool my children and never went back to finish the program.
While I have taught at several homeschool groups and co-ops. My experience at the high school has focused on several topics: English, History, Finance, and Engineering. One of the reasons I love teaching Big History Project is that it asks big questions that don't have an answer. The critical thinking skills developed in these classes can be carried over to other aspects of school and life.
With my History classes I use a combination of primary sources, articles, reference materials, and videos to teach students. I teach students to evaluate the bias of the author, the purpose of the piece of writing, and who's points of views are put forth. I have taught Howard Zinn's History for Young People, Big History Project, and History through film.
I have continued to attend teacher professional developments including:
