K–12 teaching and learning · from the UNC School of Education

I teach at Buncombe Community School in Swannanoa, North Carolina. Our school is the alternative school for Buncombe County, which serves students who are at risk of dropping out due to academic, mental health, substance abuse and/or family dysfunction issues. I teach World History, Civics and Economics, and United States History to 9–12 graders. I have taught at Buncombe Community School since 1997. I have a Bachelor’s Degree from UNC-Asheville in History, certified K–12, and Nationally Board Certified in Adolescence and Young Adulthood History.
