My Students

What kinds of settings make your mind go wild with curiosity? For me, one of those settings is a library. What if my world history students, every day, were surrounded by one of the best world history libraries in the country?

My kids are awesome and I love them.

We live in a small town, and yet my students are future world-shapers. I believe they can be the kinds of teens who grow up into parents, spouses, thinkers, and creators who impacted others. Yet, for many of them, this small town is all they've ever known -- and there's both a beauty to that reality, and a limitation to it.

My Project

Imagine a world history classroom that had shelves full of books on any topic that caught a student's fancy. What if, when a few students became intrigued by learning world history through the lens of debt, or scientists, or astronomy, they had multiple copies of the best books on world history from those angles? I can already picture students in my classroom who would latch onto the books I'm requesting in this project.

That's what you're providing with this project -- a chance to dig deeper into history; a chance to do what few history students get to do in this country: explore deeply and richly the many stories that the textbooks cannot contain.

If you've fallen in love with history, help my students do the same. Thank you so much!
