6How many of you had that boring history teacher that showed old movies and made you memorize dates and battles? I did! And that sums it up as to why I choose history to teach. I have been a staff member of Hudsonville Public Schools for 26 years. I spent 10 years working at Forest Grove Elementary and Riley Street Middle School as a technology specialist prior to teaching. I received my bachelor degree from Grand Valley State University majoring in Group Social Studies. I then went on to complete my masters degree in Educational Leadership. My goal is to open my students eyes to the world and how history has impacted decisions and events that happen each and every day. We will explore the past in a fun, creative way, hopefully changing 8th graders opinion that history is NOT "boring".
What I do for fun when not teaching: Sailing, hiking, snowshoeing, reading, spending time with my family.
