I am a teacher and a traveler with a passion for social studies and global education. I have taught students from over 45 countries and every habited continent. I taught 2nd grade for several years and redesigned the social studies curriculum. I taught internationally in Costa Rica, Colombia, and Peru. Then, I taught at the high school and post-graduate level. Currently, I design curriculum and instruction full-time from Austin, TX. As an avid traveler and language learner, I incorporate my experiences, research, and photography into my products. From living in Europe, Africa, and Latin America, I strive to make global education accessible to all.
I want my lessons to have real-world applications and prepare students to thrive in the 21st century. I like to engage curious learners in the process of discovering a new culture, a new language, or a new way of thinking. I create my resources with these in mind... ► Critical Thinking ► Multiliteracy ► Cultural Competence ► Global Awareness

Globally Taught creates social studies units and lessons for 21st-century students. Social studies is the subject of our lives, and it deserves the same attention and quality of resources as math and ELA. With our units and lessons, students practice key skills, like critical thinking, writing, data analysis, media literacy, and geographic and spatial awareness through engaging units about geography, economics, world religions, world holidays, cultures, countries, and more! ►Read our blog at www.globallytaught.com/blog ►Join our newsletter www.globallytaught.com
