TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I am in my fourth year of teaching. My first three years were spent teaching high school American History, World History, Government and Psychology. Now I am teaching 7th grade Geography.

MY TEACHING STYLE

As a history teacher, I liked to use PowerPoint presentations with lots of pictures and videos. At both the middle and high school level, I love hands-on projects for the kids and lots of map work!
