      Teaching sections of American History 1865-1945 to 9th grade students at Oley Valley High School for the remainder of the 2015-2016 academic school year. Previously a Per Diem Substitute Teacher and then a Long-Term Substitute Teacher for the months of September and October, Oley Valley School District has generously extended my employment for the remainder of the academic school year. Topics of content taught consist of Westward Expansion and Native Americans, Gilded Age America, World War I and the Roaring 20s, American Imperialism, the Great Depression and finally World War II. This era of American History is incredibly unique as it embodies the changing evolution of America after the Industrial Revolution and the Civil War crippled a country in ruins, all the way to a prominent emerging leader on the world stage.
