Mrs. Brandley’s Classroom Edit display name

My students come from so many different backgrounds. A large number of my students come from impoverished families. It is my goal, as an educator, to use History and Social Science to help students see patterns of human behavior, consequences, successes, failures, and the impacts of a single person. I utilize a number of teaching strategies to reach each of my students, simulations to dive into history, writing to support future learning, analysis of difficult texts, and discussions of current issues. Every quarter my students and I create goals to help us achieve the highest level of success. I allow the students to choose their incentive, my profile picture is of me in a sumo suit, an incentive for a class that had been struggling. They worked hard and they were able to succeed! I am lucky to teach where I do, and I am fortunate to be a part of my students' lives.
