Mrs. Sarah Wilcox

Social Studies Teacher Author

Hello teacher friends! I am a history teacher with over 6 years of experience in the classroom, and many more to come. I am also a mother, a wife, an amateur of many random hobbies. My favorite hobby is crafting engaging lesson plans and activities for all age levels, but mostly for secondary social studies. I truly enjoy creating educational resources and learning history. I believe that history isn't just about dates and facts—it's about stories that connect us to our past and help us understand our present. My goal is to make history come alive for my students through engaging lessons, interactive activities, and thought-provoking discussions.

My Teaching Philosophy

🎯

Student-Centered Learning

I believe in encouraging students to be active participants in their learning, and not just taking notes.

🔍

Critical Thinking

I encourage my students to question, analyze, and evaluate historical events and sources, developing their ability to think critically about the world around them.

🤝

Reading Comprehension

I believe in helping students become confident readers. I want every student to feel empowered to understand the world and express their ideas clearly.

🎨

Creative Approaches

I use a variety of creative methods to make history engaging and memorable for all learning styles.

Fun Facts About Me

I've visited over 10 different countries.
My favorite historical figure is Theodore Roosevelt—his bold leadership and determination was inspirational.
I love starting a journal but never finishing it.
When I'm not teaching, you can find me hiking, reading historical fiction, or playing a cozy video game.
I can't whistle.

Let's Connect!

I'm always excited to connect with fellow educators, parents, and students who share a passion for history and social studies. Whether you're looking for teaching resources, want to collaborate on a project, or just want to chat about history, I'd love to hear from you!
