My name is Stacey. I am a Social Studies teacher in Missouri. I have taught 6th grade World History as well as 8th grade American History. I am a new mom to twin boys and I have a husband that I absolutely adore.

 

Teaching is a unique profession and it is absolutely my God-given calling in life. Teaching is a huge creative outlet for me, and each year brings new technology, resources, rewards and challenges. Inside the four walls of my classroom, I’m the boss. I have the power to make History as boring or as exciting as possible. My room can foster the capacity to foster learning, competition, exploration, growth and creativity. For these very reasons, I feel blessed to be a teacher, and I am very passionate about the work that I do.

 

I have always been amazed at how educators have been willing and eager to share. Things like suggestions, classroom routines, purchases, lesson plans, experiences, stories, resources, and ideas! With the ever growing world of Pinterest, teachers pay teachers, and blogs, sharing has grown on a global scale and information has become more readily assessable. This is what led to “The Inspired Instructor”. I am excited to be a part of this generous community and I am hopeful that some of the things I have created  will be useful to you!
