A platform that I use in my classroom is Schoology! I upload slides I teach with. My students use it to work on their digital notebooks and collaborate with each other.

There are so many opportunities for PD in Alabama! On July 18, I will be attending a PD called Unlocking Student Success on the ACT. I am super excited to attend in order to understand how to better support my students when taking the ACT!

Every history teacher is a professional.

They are historians, librarians, storytellers, researchers, and mentors. They are the bridges that connect students to the past.
