Breana Mosher

I will become a teacher that is truly passionate about their job. I want my classroom to be a place where students can explore topics that are important to them. I want my students to understand why history is so important and how it relates to our modern lives. I will have a student-centered classroom. I want to be a teacher that supports their students' curiosity and questions. 

I will follow a mix of two educational philosophies: Essentialism and Progressivism. Essentialism focuses on the idea that students must learn traditional basic subjects thoroughly, while progressivism focuses on engaging students in real-world problem-solving. Students need to learn foundational information about events and periods, but I want to foster an environment where they can investigate how these events connect to our current events. I want my students to walk away from my class with a greater knowledge of our world, past and present.
