As a social studies teacher, I have spent the last the ten years developing curriculum for my various classes. The creation of lesson plans and projects is one of my joys of being a teacher. I enjoy finding the right hook, integrating technology, and transferring my love of history to my students.

For current students, you can access valuable resources at the classroom web sites updated throughout the school year.

I've been fortunate enough to have been able to expand my curriculum development beyond my classroom and my students.  I have been posting lesson plans and WebQuests on my personal web site for years now.  In 2004, I was contracted to publish my world history curriculum through the Teaching Point publishing firm. Most recently I have been doing contract work for PBS affiliates.  I've broken down the curriculum I've developed into four categories.

Curriculum categories

  • PBS Consulting
  • World History Curriculum Guides
  • WebQuests and More
  • Propaganda Project
