About Gruntled History Teacher
Hello Everyone,
Over the last nine years of teaching history at a classical charter school, I’ve written a few chapters worth of handouts in what could one day become a secondary-source reader in a high school-level Western Civilization course. I also have enough lecture notes and musings on the teaching of history to turn into a fair number of blog posts and mini-essays. There’s plenty of content to keep me going for a good long while, and I hope that having a regular writing outlet and (eventually) a subscriber base will help me write more new content, and hone my craft.
I also help train and mentor new teachers, and so I want this blog to be a resource for teachers; especially those new to history, or who are teaching history without a deep background in historical training and methodology. I also hope my content and resources will be useful to homeschooling families.
While I have a degree in history, I’m certainly no academic historian, and I don’t claim any authority in that domain of specialized experts.
