In Support of Indiana Teachers
When HB 1134 was being proposed by the General Assembly, a group of my peers and I set out to co-author this op-ed against the passing of this bill. I think it is important to show students what it means and what advocacy and activism looks like with my own life examples. Students are free to think and advocate for positions they care about in my classroom, regardless if I were to agree with them or not. It is not my job push my views upon students. My job is to inspire inquiry and advocacy in my students to fulfill the goals of State Standards and Social Studies.

This course not only emphasized breath of historical knowledge but also on how we should look at teaching social studies.
