...reforms in post-revolutionary Cuba. I love learning about the past so I read a lot of history and look for hands on experience like participating in an archaeological dig in my native Bulgaria or doing archival research for my thesis.

...concepts of math at those levels. Given the experience I had helping students prepare for Common Core State Exams or SHSAT, the students and I feel like we are solving a "detective case" with each math question in front of us, and I'd allow the students to be detectives looking for clues in the problem as that is what math involves; this in fact makes the learning experience a lot fun for me as a...
