U.S. History

Class overview

In this class we will learn how current events are a consequence of historical events. Learning about history helps us to become better prepared to act as conscious, engaged citizens. I challenge my students to question who is the educational focus of history, and why women and minorities are often left out of the narrative. Students in my class will engage in a critical examination of themselves, others, institutions, and events to find patterns of inequality, bigotry and discrimination. They will then explore possible solutions to the problems they’ve identified.
