About The Teacher Label:


About The Teacher
I received my B.A. degree from the University of California at Berkeley with a degree in anthropology and archaeology. I have a Masters in Education, specializing in Multicultural education and gifted instruction. I hold a CLAD certified and clear-teaching credential. I have received teaching certificates of recognition and appreciation from U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer, U.S. House of Representative Howard L. Berman, Councilmember Michael Feuer, and Councilmember Wendy Greuel. Before becoming a teacher at Millikan I worked as an archaeologist for the U.C. Berkeley outreach program. I have taught history at Millikan since 2000. My love for history and culture stems from being raised as an Air Force “brat” who moved from country to country every two to three years.

Mission Label:


Mission
My goal for all history classes is to bring history alive for my students. I believe that it is vital that students see their place in history today and how the lives and events of others have created the world that we live in. I strive to teach students to look at history as a way to become active citizens and responsible people within their community. I love to use songs, plays, reenactments, and creative projects to inspire and motivate my students to become life long lovers of history. I encourage students to always ask questions and take chances in class. I want all of my students to have ownership in their education and what they are being taught. My classroom is a collaborative and cooperative environment that respects all opinions and discussions.
