Courses like AP World History and DP History HL are often challenging for students. And with these challenges, students sometimes get discouraged or feel defeated. However, it is my hope to provide students the supports and encouragement they need to meet and overcome their challenges to grow as historians and learners. Furthermore, there is great news for those who take on challenges! According to researchers like Carol Dweck, when students see obstacles as learning opportunities, they can actually grow in their intelligence.
