I have been in the classroom since August of 2006. I have taught Civics and Economics, US History from the French and Indian War to Present Day, and AP Psychology. I have trained new and experienced teachers on strategies throughout my fifteen years in education.
I teach a combination of student-led and teacher-led activities to keep students engaged and hold them accountable.

I'm passionate about using activities that foster a positive classroom environment for both the teacher and the students. I do not believe in busy work, but only using activities that take the pressure off of the teacher and gives the students ownership of their learning. I have very little discipline problems because of the structure of my classroom. I hope to help others do the same.
