TEACHING

May 2019

In addition to graduating, I accepted a job offer! I will be working at East Central High School next year teaching World History to sophomores. I am equal parts excited and nervous for what comes next. I can't wait to get to know a brand new group of kids, to start my first "real" teaching job, and to tackle the challenges and celebrate the successes ahead. Go Hornets!

I graduated with my Master's Degree in Teaching! I want to thank everyone that supported me through this challenging and rewarding time.

A special thanks to my family and my girlfriend for making sure that I knew that I could do it. I finally did!

Such great things ahead!

As part of my student teaching, I got to plan two units of study for an 8th grade humanities classroom. I planned and implemented a "backwards" design unit of study using the Universal by Design framework. I taught both the Roaring Twenties and the Great Depression, and I planned and implemented two performance assessments as a way to monitor the progress of students. Here is that unit!

​​I planned two performance assessments that I am particularly proud of, the "Roaring Twenties Block Party" and the "Fireside Chat." Take a look at the unit to see all of the focused work that I put into making sure that my kids had the best learning experience possible!

As a part of my Masters program, I and my fellow cohort members helped to lead groups of sophomore students in out-of-state experiential learning trips. I got to help with the International School of the America's trip to New Mexico, which was an excellent opportunity to see my home state with fresh eyes and help students to see what makes NM so unique. As we traveled, I took short video clips of the students. I stitched them together and put them to music as a goodbye present to the group of kids that touched my heart and shared with me in my travels. Go group six!
