I created US History curriculum specifically tailored for the needs of Chinese students about to transition to American schools. I acted mostly as a facilitator when executing my active lessons, helping them see comparisons to their own culture and understand how American's ideals of Liberty, Opportunity, Rights, Democracy, and Equality played out (or were compromised) throughout history.I large part of my work involved one on one feedback surrounding English writing, as most students had not yet passed their TOEFL exam for their program, and still needed support in language grammar and fluency.
