MY TEACHING STYLE

Social Studies teaches all the things. I am constantly bringing together all of the various fields of study in one classroom. I strive to equip everyone with skills to be successful in life, to be critical and innovative thinkers, to have strong analysis skills, and to have transferable knowledge as I help them to see how interconnected the various fields can be.
