About Me

I am a middle school teacher with about a 10 years of experience in the classroom teaching Language Arts, History, and Humanities. I believe that by providing them with real connections between the curriculum and the world around us, students experience more ownership and authenticity in their learning. The answers to the perennial questions about why history, or any subject, is important can be found in the headlines, galleries, and voices that will be featured on this page.

NYT: Best Summer Reading Book is Any Book!


Interesting article about the benefits to students of reading anything at all during the summer.  As we have all seen, those two months, if spent doing nothing academic, can be brutal on our students' development and preparedness to return to the classroom.
