TEACHING EXPERIENCE

2004-Present: Social Studies Teacher at Iowa Falls-Alden High School. 1994-2004: Social Studies Teacher at Alden High School. 1992-1994: Substitute Teacher

MY TEACHING STYLE

I try to create presentations, activities and simulations that engage students and are interactive. The goal is for them to understand how and most importantly why events in history have happened. When students are engaged, they have a deeper understanding of events, situations and the reasons those events occurred. My goal is always to create lessons that students will remember in ten years rather than just for a test and forget it.
