My name is Sam and I am excited to be in this class. I currently teach Middle School ELA in Providence, but teaching is a career change for me. Before teaching, I was working in the humanitarian and international development field, working overseas for an international NGO. When the current administration began last year, USAID was dissolved and so my project was also and I was laid off. I have worked all over the world- in Afghanistan, Gaza, Liberia, Ghana, Vanuatu and lots more. I had always worked on education related projects and had taught right out of college so teaching seemed like a good fit. Looking forward to learning more in this class and improving my teaching practice.
