Introduction

My name is Rachel Rogers, I am a fourth year student at the University of Michigan working towards a major in French, a minor in history and secondary teaching certifications from the School of Education. I love working with kids and young people and am passionate about educating them about our world, helping them grow and develop as people and develop critical thinking skills through the lenses of the subjects I study. I recently studied abroad in France and hope to return to that country for a period of time to work with children before settling into a high school or middle school teaching position in the United States. I find the content of this class interesting and relevant and hope to incorporate the insights I gain here into my teaching practice.
