About Me

My name is Melissa and I am a 12th grade Social Studies teacher in Cold Spring, New York. I currently teach 12th grade Government & Economics, Sociology, and AP Government and Politics. I have been teaching for 14 years in both New York and Pennsylvania.

I grew up in Boonton, New Jersey, and earned a Bachelors Degree in Social Studies Education at Ithaca College in Ithaca, New York. While teaching full-time in both Geneva, NY, and Trumansburg, NY I earned my Master’s Degree in Inclusive Special Education at the University of New England. I live with my husband, two adorable sons, and two rescue dogs in Poughkeepsie, NY.

I was the former co-leader of #sschat on Twitter. Please join #sschat for an engaging chat with wonderful social studies teachers on each Monday at 7 PM EST.

  • Teaching about the election is always an important topic. For younger students, they may host their own election nominating a class president while learning in an age-appropriate way who is running to be the next United States President. As students get older, many become more interested in learning who the candidates are and how an election is run. One vital topic to include during a presidential unit involves the electoral college. #electoralcollege #hsgovernment #government

Teaching in an age of Covid -> There is so much to look forward to and knowing how deeply we value those opportunities now gives me hope for the future! I had my students write speeches to save their agencies and depts but I had them post it on @Flipgrid
