Episode 34: Janine Robinson, 8th Grade Social Studies Teacher at C.J. Hooker Middle School

Mrs. Janine Robinson is a core of the Social Studies department in Goshen Schools. She has spent time teaching both 7th and 8th grade US History at C.J. Hooker Middle School. Teaching Social Studies is more than teaching history - it’s about critical thinking, analysis, and developing good citizens. Mrs. Robinson is always working to reinvent herself and adapt to the student engagement needs of her classes. She relies on collaboration with her colleagues and uses the advice she has picked up from literature she has read as inspiration for her lesson planning. Civics and citizenship is ever-more important in our society, and listening to this conversation about how Goshen teachers work with young people to develop young adults will be refreshing.
