ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

Hello, I have spent nearly 10 years teaching Texas history in the Austin and Houston areas. As a born and raised Texan, I know the depth of the diversity of our land, people, and state history. However, as a fresh Texas History teacher, I was underwhelmed with the resources available for our content area and often times found myself creating my own lessons from scratch. So from one Texas History teacher to another... I hope you enjoy what I've put my time and heart into and that it can help brighten your units and your students' interest in Texas. Thanks, y'all!
