I am Heidi Hollander. I am currently in my 8th year of teaching. I received my teaching credential when the job market was tanking, but was grateful to get a job at a small private high school. I taught high school history, American Government, and American Sign Language. Last year, I completed the admin credential program and am now back to finish the Master's degree portion. While getting the admin credential, I interned at my school site as interim middle school principal.
I currently teach 7th and 8th grade history at a small public school in West Modesto, Hart-Ransom Elementary. It has been a fun change from teaching high school, and I have learned a lot this year. I love a classroom that is full of my student's voices. I want them to ask and answer their own questions, being excited and curious for their learning questions.
Outside of work, I love to travel. Any chance I get to leave the area, I will take. I have ventured to 10 different European countries, and spent a couple summers in Liberia, West Africa. While in Liberia, I helped with tutoring and schooling at an orphan village. I also love heading to NYC or the Washington D.C. area whenever I get the chance. When not traveling outside or around the country, I love taking day or weekend trips around California.
