MashAvz strives to create academic material that is intelligent, fun and appealing to the eye. We hope that our curriculum materials will stoke your students' intellectual curiosity and love of the arts, while also instilling in them a great respect for the world's diversity. NO CUTE RESOURCES!! We don't use animation, stickers, cartoons or clip art in any of our resources. (I have taught History, Government, Economics and Music at the high school and middle school levels for over 20 years. I also work as a Zoom teacher and make educational films.) I hope you enjoy!
I've had the good fortune to do lots of traveling (yay summer vacation!!) and it taught me that diversity, when enjoyed in an environment of mutual respect and appreciation, is ALWAYS a unifying, enlightening force. This lesson remains a guiding tenet in my life, one that I hope to pass on to others through my resources.
