Currently, I work at Southwick-Tolland Regional High school for the past seven years teaching US History I, US History II, Psychology, and World History II at the college prep and A level. At Southwick, I have been involved within the school community as a teacher chaperone on trips to Europe. I have experience as a teacher in all aspects. In addition, I've been active in lesson and curriculum planning, classroom instruction, student assessments, grading, team and parent meetings. Before Southwick, I taught for three years as a 8th grade World History teacher. I enjoyed creating lesson that helped my middle school students learn about how fun history can really be. There I presented a workshop entitled; "A Journey Back in Time: Using Living History Re-enactors to Enhance Classroom Teaching" at the April, 2011 Northeast Regional Conference for the Social Studies in Sturbridge, Massachusetts. This workshop explored ways teachers can use living history re-enactors as a resource to enhance classroom teaching.
Living history is an important teaching tool that helps to preserve our American heritage by engaging us with our past in a tactile-ways. I find this tool to be very powerful in order to understand not only history but how, "History helps us understand change and how the society we live in came to be. The past causes the present and so the future." Unknown Author
I currently teach United States History I & United States History and the Modern World, and World History. I have the responsibility of curriculum development, direct classroom instruction covering material required by the MA state curriculum
