Margaret has a Bachelor’s in Secondary Education and a Master’s in Education. Past professional experience includes middle school teaching, professional development coordination, and mentoring teachers in the Marygrove College MAT program.  This year, Margaret began collaborating with a local university on a college credit-bearing independent study project for students in her International Politics class. Over the course of the school year, students partner with high school students in Rwanda, Brazil, China, and Spain to develop and present a cooperative research project.

Margaret’s interest in Teaching Africa Teacher Certification stems from a personal desire to enhance her content knowledge of Africa and develop a more culturally responsive curriculum for her diverse student population. Content interests include modern Africa and the impact of imperialism. Margaret looks forward to collaborating with like-minded professionals who are passionate about the teaching of African studies.
