I teach traditional and advanced academics at one of the best schools in Jackson Public Schools. I have been teaching for 19 years and looking forward to being able to teach another 10! My motto is "If I can educate and push at the minimum 95% of my students to their ultimate potential then I have contributed to building an awesome society! I host an interactive history class where MY students learn US history and historical skills (analysis and interpretation). This is a course that is a STATE tested course. My students'classroom is in need of supplies that they can use in the classroom to be successful this school year. They need a printer, paper and Classroom tablet or Ipad to be able to access resources. The table or Ipad will be for students who do not have a phone or laptop to access resources. They deserve the same chance as other students in other districts to be just as successful.
