After 14 years in the classroom as a Social Science instructor, I am now a instructional specialist with a focus on Social Science and technology. But I still consider myself a teacher. I enjoy working with groups of all sizes to promote creative teaching and to encourage new ways of thinking about what goes on in today’s classrooms.
And while research and philosophies are nice, what educators really want is the integration of research with practical application. I want you to walk away with ideas and strategies that actually work and so all of our conversations will focus on applying philosophy to real-world, 21st century learning.
The topics below represent a few of the conversations I have helped lead. Other topics include brain research, best practices in social studies and how to integrate technology into the social sciences. I’d love to work with you! Give me a ring!
