Name: C arleigh Olive Major: Middle/Secondary Education (specialization in social studies) and

WHY: Iam passionate about educating youth and want to inspire the students I will teach. I also want to educate on the importance of history

and how and why it can be applied to current events.

What: I want my future students to be well-educated regarding historical events and leave my class knowing they have become the best

version of themselves.

How: I will emphasize the importance of accessibility and create a welcoming environment where students feel comfortable asking

questions and growing as a person. | will also tie in current events into what I am teaching so students will be knowledgeable about both

historical events and current events. I also think it is vital that students are given opportunities to grow as individuals in order to become the

best version of themselves.
