What do you need to be successful?
My purpose as an educator is to teach my students the skills they will need to know throughout their academic and professional careers. I have a fiery passion for my content, and truly believe that we, as a society, need to learn history. The field of history is not about the "names and dates," but rather about cultures and how the human race came to be what it is today. By studying the human experience and the themes present throughout history, we will better comprehend our surroundings in the present, and be able to construct a vision of what the future might hold. My goal throughout the year is to provide every student with the ability to critically think about important topics, and create valid arguments based upon research and historical evidence. Through this, students can use sophisticated reasoning, in both verbal and written forms, and become more rounded individuals. By having mastery in these skills, students will be able to have a basis for their future personal, academic, and professional development, which will serve them well in whatever career they choose in the future. My job is to create a conducive learning environment to all students, regardless of their ability level, and by having a positive attitude, and utilizing time management skills, every student can succeed in my classroom.
