Teaching Philosophy
I've been out of the teaching game for awhile, but I still hold that the best teachers are those with a balancing act

Education

Yale UniversityHistory20032007Degree Bachelor DegreeGrade 3.5Activities & Societies Fraternity, varsity athlete, society memberUnlike many of my classmates (though not a majority), I did not have a specific field of study I was going to pursue from day 1 - or for that matter, day 720! I spread my studies out across the various departments; my favorite classes included Music Theory, Computer Programming, Biology, Common Technology, American Political Power, and, of course, History, my eventual major. History actually led me to my year abroad in Korea after graduation. I enjoyed my Modern Korean History class because I was interested in how this small country could possibly have elevated itself from poorest country in the world to a top 10 economy in a matter of 50 years. I learned a lot about that topic over the next 7.5 years that I spent in Seoul.
