Amanda Connell
My name is Amanda Connell and I teach World History and US History at a public high school in Smyrna, Georgia, in the United States. I was honored to serve as my school’s Teacher of the Year (2022). Additionally, I was the content creator for the state of Georgia’s Virtual World History course.
I believe that history is multifaceted and is best understood through many lenses. To this end, I enjoy cross-curricular learning opportunities. I’ve paired my classes with my school’s STEM program, AP English Language & American Literature class, and Forensics class for both short- and long-term projects. I have presented these collaborations at collegiate and state-level conferences. Perhaps more importantly, I believe in using history-based dialogues to encourage my students to think critically about their world and themselves. One of the ways I expose my students to multiple viewpoints is through European educational field trips on school holidays. I look forward to developing dialogues with Parallel Histories.
