I have been teaching 60 years in various positions from preschool through middle school.  i really enjoy teaching Social Studies as it encompasses all subjects and is a wonderful subject in which to teach stduenets about inquiry, research, abd real world learning.  it is always a changing field of study.  I enjoy traveling and meeting new people who have eperiences other than those I have.  i am curious and research often.  Inhave been so lucky to work in a job that is never the same from day to day so it is like having a new job each day for 60 years.
