Introduction
This website is intended to be an ePortfolio for me, Trent Crockett. This website will consist of a number of content pages for teaching such as lesson plans. worksheet ideas, and presentations. Additionally, my resume is attached on an additional page for reference.
I want to be a high school social studies teacher, specifically for American History and Economics. As a result, the content on this website will pertain to those subjects and will be relevant to what I might be teaching in the future.
It is my philosophy that, in general, the best teaching style is a combination of teacher oriented teaching and student oriented learning. What is meant by this is that a combination of lectures, discussions, and giving information to students with individual work, avenues for students to be creative, and ways for students to show their knowledge is the not only the most enjoyable way to learn but also the most effective way to learn.
I am is working on my Bachelors Degree in History with a Minor in Economics and do my own research in my free time in order to further my historical and economic knowledge. My educational goals include not only furthering my own education in the field of history and contributing to the field but more importantly sharing my knowledge with the youth to not only get them interested in the field but to also inform them of the context and importance of the world today.
