STATEMENT
As a Social Studies educator of over 28 years and a long-time advocate for excellence in teaching History/Social Science, it would be my honor to continue to serve the teachers across the state and in the Southern Regions as the Southern Area Vice President of CCSS for the upcoming term.
I look forward to continuing to support the members of local and regional Social Studies/History organizations as they work to support teachers and students in their communities.
Now more than ever it is essential that we work together for the promotion of teaching History/Social Science in K12 classrooms across the state. I would very much like to continue the important work of CCSS in the support of students and teachers throughout California.
