My first year teaching, one of my students told me that I reminded them of a hipster version of Miss Frizzle from The Magic School Bus. "The Frizz" is super inspiring and has killer fashion - what's not to love? So, Hipster Miss Frizzle was born.
If you're new to the blog, here's a little about me:
- I have been teaching since 2013.
- I teach at a diverse, rural, high-poverty school in North Carolina. We have AVID and the IB Programme.
- I teach social studies, which currently includes World History (standard and Honors), AP European History, Introduction to Education, and, beginning in the 2017-2018 year, IB Psychology SL and HL. (I like a challenge. ☺)
- My passions as an educator include building relationships; teaching in a way that is culturally and linguistically respectful; helping students to be tolerant of others and intelligent consumers of media; and building and growing the teaching profession.
This blog's not fancy, and I don't claim to be an expert in anything, but I think I've got some worthwhile stuff to say. You can look forward to classroom anecdotes, curated resources, and reflection from me. Questions welcome.
Make good choices,
HMF
