I am a highly qualified teacher in history for grades elementary through grade 9. I have taught both history and science in a public school classroom for over 15 years. I was the lead history teacher for my school. I have presented at both local and state social studies teacher conferences. I love to travel and always travel with the purpose of exploring the history of an area.

 In order for people to understand current events, we must make the effort to look at the difficult stories of the past. I believe it is only in looking to our past can we understand today. This class allows for discussion and reflection of the actions that people took over 400 years ago. The class will teach the causes and effects of colonization. The goal is not to demonize or glorify any group or groups, but to have an understanding of events.

Horrible Histories: Jamestown, New World 

Often, historical resources are based on first-person accounts or primary sources. These sources are often considered bias and must be placed in the context of the time period. This class does not teach using derogatory or slang words. If a student has a question about a word or event and why it was used or happened, I will be glad to explain it during class or in a private email through Outschool.
