Invent a holiday! Explain how and why everyone should celebrate.
Two years from now, to what extent have Boomer Democrats failed millennials, deluded Gen z, and polarized Gen Alpha; socially, economically and politically.
The title of your thesis in the comments is the holiday I will invent.
Who was your most influential teacher? Why?
It was the late 90s and Mr. Kennady lectured from a legal pad and wrote notes on the chalkboard. He was a Navy veteran and looked like an Irishman, dressed daily in a buttoned shirt and tie. He’d sit on his stool as the sage on the stage and I drank it all in. He made me want to be a history teacher.
An outside of the box approach to teaching the Civil Rights movement as it focuses on organizations of Asian, Latinx, Indigenous and African descent after 1965. With roots in the early civil rights movement of the 1950s and 60s, Malcolm X and the Black Power movement, the Peoples Movement extended to the mid 1980s. Students will learn about the Brown Berets, Black Panthers and COINTELPROs effort to dismantle these organizations and others like it. Students will go beyond Martin and Rosa to discover that all power belongs to the people.

I would like to share with you the wonder and works of Titus Kaphar. Kaphar is a amazing artist and I have created a lesson activity to supplement U.S. History units about Indian Removal, Andrew Jackson, Jacksonian Era, and Trail of Tears. I teach these topics through the lens of American Settler Colonialism using Dr. Muhammad’s Culturally and Historically Responsive Literacy Framework.

Not only did I graduate with my Masters in Secondary Education with a teaching credential in April; I got a job! I only applied to one school, and that is the school where I did my student teaching. I love this school for three reasons: it has a diverse student body, faculty in the social studies department are amazing, and the administration is actively pursuing diversity and inclusion from the top down. I am so excited to teach!!!
