The bi-annual Social Studies Pizza Extravaganza took place last week on Dr. Crawford's deck. Social Studies majors gathered to have food and fun, plus they had the chance to listen to Joe Fisher, who is currently student teaching at Hardin Northern High School. The gatherings are held each semester to give new and old students a chance to get to know each other, and to share survival tips on making it through the requirements of the major. Tips range from how to do well on the Praxis I and II, how to succeed in various courses, and hear "what NOT to do as a teacher" from Dr. Crawford - things that can get you fired. Last summer, the Social Studies majors traveled the world, with three students studying abroad. Trey Jones taught English to South Korean students and also took classes at Dankook University in Seoul, South Korea. Sadie Wiley travelled to England to study museums, and also took the chance to travel to Paris and Rome. Annie Hertzler studied Spanish in Chile. Trey will also be doing his student teaching next spring in Valencia, Spain. We are very proud of the good work that these students did that will help them build a resume that will help them get jobs, and make them better teachers.
Well done all and we will have another extravaganza in the spring!
