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! 💚🤍🌍

Appreciation notes getting me through the end of the school year 💝 Especially grateful for the sweet student who went to the nurse’s office to get me cough drops since I’ve been sick this week 🥹

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

I just ran a student’s essay through some AI detection websites, and look what popped up on my phone next… all I can say is, UGH! 😑

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?

My freshmen TA wanted to include Fortnite in our design for our school’s door decorating contest… so we did. 😂

I implemented a strategy I learned from a Smithsonian session at the NCSS conference today! To begin our unit on the Industrial Revolution, I had my sophomores look at these two images and discuss them using a see-think-wonder approach.

Fever 1793 was one of the first historical fiction novels that I read as a kid, helping to spark my love of history and reading. Hearing @halseanderson.bsky.social speak today and feeling her passion for historical research from across the room was incredible! #edusky #iteachsocialstudies #ncss2024
