My name is Desirea Holton. I have a Bachelor's Degree in History from Metro and I am now working on becoming certified to teach Secondary Social Studies. When I am done with that I would also like to eventually get a Ph.D in History or the Humanities. I have a lot of favorite subjects and I don't like the idea of having to pick just one when they all seem to be connected in one way or another. A lot of the ideas I have developed about the way I would like to teach come from watching my own children and thinking about what I want for them in terms of education. For instance I love Reggio Emilia, with it's emphasis on child-directed learning and art as a medium for answering questions about the world.
