About Me
Studying history involves the conversation and interrogation of historical events and their impact on our world today. My role as the teacher is to enable students to understand the historical context, which will allow students to question the motivations of historical figures and assess the significance of their actions. While we will spend time examining historical events and understanding why they were important to the Americans who experienced them, we will also follow the legacy of these historical events and discuss why they are important to us, Americans living in the 21st century.
I want my students to not only learn history, but understand their role as a member of American society and the responsibilities they will have as they begin to play a more active role in our nation’s future. However, I also want my students to exit my room prepared for the more rigorous years of high school and college. My students will be responsible for their own work, and will be responsible for making that work outstanding. My goal as a teacher is that all of my students will strive to be better at something, whether is working on their writing skills, using their time more efficiently, or being an active participant in class. I care deeply for each and every one of my students success in my classroom and I expect the same kind of care and compassion to go into his/her coursework. Please never hesitate to contact me for anything! |
