My Teaching Philosophy
Making History Relevant
"Why should I care about some dead guy?" This is a phrase too often heard by people who have a love of history. Although there are countless reasons why one should care, it is important to reach students on their level. If you can make history pertinent to their lives in the 21st century, not only will they pay more attention and give you better control of your classroom but they will have a better chance of retaining this information.
