Social Studies
I am certified to teach Government, Economics and Geography. As a teacher of Social Studies I have a responsibility to educate my students about the past, present, and how they can create and effect the future. Social Studies not only teaches skills such as reading text and writing but it also teaches students about life and humanity. As a Social Studies teacher I have a responsibility to help my students make educated decisions about themselves and the world. In social studies I expect my students to learn something they can use for the rest of their life. In Government they should have an understanding of politics and why it's important to be informed about your government, in Economics students should understand why the economy is so important and how it affects them day to day. In geography students should come away with having gained new knowledge about the world and how every place fits together to create a globalized community. In summary Social Studies students should come away with a better understanding of what it means to be an educated citizen of the world.
