Summary

I am a dedicated educator with a strong background in Political Science and History, eager to inspire and engage students in the classroom. With 23 years of teaching experience at both the secondary and college levels, I have developed a versatile approach that accommodates diverse learning styles while maintaining high academic standards. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering critical thinking and encouraging students to engage with historical and political concepts actively. I utilize technology and a variety of instructional strategies to create dynamic learning environments where students can explore complex ideas and develop their analytical skills. In my roles at Bainbridge High School, Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, and Southern Regional Technical College, I have successfully taught courses in U.S. History, Political Science, and Advanced Placement Government and Politics, tailoring my curriculum to meet the needs of all learners, including those with learning disabilities and gifted students. My commitment to lifelong learning is reflected in my ongoing professional development, as I pursue a Master of Science in Social Science - Political Science at Troy University. I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to [Institution Name] as an adjunct professor, where I can share my passion for history and political science with students, guiding them to become informed, critical thinkers prepared to engage in civic life.
