Teaching Fellows undertake different types of leadership while on their path to the classroom. From left to right, Lakin Hanna (FMU), Nicholas Gallagher (CCU), Mason Tyler (CCU), and Sarah McKenna (CCU) were selected by their professors to serve as co-presenters at the South Carolina Council for the Social Studies annual conference on September 29- 30, 2023.
According to the conference program, Lakin and Dr. Patricia Boatwright (FMU) shared ways of "Exploring History Using Oral History Interviews." Specifically, this session focused on how oral interviews provide a more "holistic perspective of historical events and eras." Lakin and Dr. Boatwright also shared model lessons and experiences from the classroom.
Nicholas, Mason, and Sarah partnered with Dr. Kristal Curry on a session titled, "Fostering Connection with Students through Interactive Lecture." The Teaching Fellows practiced this strategy in their preservice placements and provided real-world examples of ways students took notes during their lessons, how they connected historical content to students' lives and created activities that used the notes from the lecture, and ways to share information that were not "boring and draining" to students.
CERRA is proud to call Lakin, Nicholas, Mason, and McKenna Teaching Fellows!
