Year 1 at Rice ✅ Year 8 teaching, but at times I felt like a brand new teacher with a new school, curriculums, & systems to learn. Grateful for the friendly & supportive community here. It was a year of growth & I'm excited to come back next year! 💚🤍🌍

Grateful for Ashland University, the MAHG program, & the James Madison Foundation. It’s been an honor to be a James Madison Fellow, to earn another master’s degree & study our nation’s history, & to meet so many amazing educators. I’m really proud of this one. 💜💛🦅📜🏛️ #iteachsocialstudies #edusky

Since it’s my first year teaching high school, it’s my first time prepping for midterm exams. Any suggestions for review strategies or games I can do with my 9th and 10th grade world history students?
