Sometimes, students might get put off or bored by class material in English and Social Studies, but it doesn't have to be that way. A teacher's passion for what might seem like dry content is definitely catching...the more engaged a teacher is with the material, the more likely the students are to engage as well. Mike Romero has a BA in theatre and an MA in U.S. history, and will be drawing on both to offer suggestions on how to present material with passion and enthusiasm. Participants are asked to have an introduction or hook to a lesson of their choice ready to present and workshop throughout the session.
