My education background is that I am a rising senior at UNC Charlotte with my major being in history. I also have a minor in secondary education. I am heading into my senior year YLI, and I'll be a certified teacher in May 2027. I plan on becoming a social studies teacher in the academic year of 2027-28.
My teaching experience is having done nearly 30 hours of clincials. This is where I go into a classroom and become a teacher assistant. The clinicals have given me great insight on classroom management, and what it takes to become a teacher in a practical way. My method of teaching is to allow students to interact with the material. The material has to be important to the students, in order for students to engage.
I'll plan to implement this method by giving students a "real-world purpose," this means teaching students the same way historians interpret historical data. A historian isn't going to learn about an event by someone telling them facts for multiple hours. It's going to come by engaging and having discussions with the students, and allowing the students to use that historical knowledge to apply it to their everyday lives.
