Welcome to Eighth Grade Social Studies!
Teaching Philosophy/About Your Teacher
I have experience teaching at both the high school level as well as the middle school level. My hope is that students will gain a broader understanding of the history of our country. Additionally students will be challenged this year to begin to develop their own political identity(opinions)
