TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Happy Teacher Resources is run by Christina, a writer and teacherpreneur who is passionate about American history, government, literature, and education. For the last several years, I've been making resources for my mom's Civics class — and now, I want to share those resources with all of you! My mom is a veteran teacher of over 30 years, currently teaching 7th Grade Civics. (Formerly, she was an 8th Grade American History teacher, and before that an ESE Reading teacher.) Sue is certified in the state of Florida to teach Social Studies (grades 6-12), English (6-12), and Reading (K-12), and has won both Reading Teacher of the Year and Social Studies Teacher of the Year.
