Such an honor to present on a panel with National History Day educators today at the Missouri Council for History Education Conference in Columbia!
If you know me there’s one thing that I’m passionate about and that is NHD. It has not only allowed my students to make important connections but myself as well.
If you’re interested in becoming part of the program, reach out! I’d be happy to help.
Also so happy to have Mrs. Hayes (Risco’s 5th/6th Social Studies and ELA teacher) along with me attending the conference!
