Why Great Teachers Matter
Video: An exceptional teacher connects the digital generation to their ancient history.
What would Plato's Spotify list look like? Who would Mark Anthony have in his group text and would there be drama? St. Luke's School history teacher Abby Abbott observes that people are not interested in history if they cannot see themselves reflected in the past: "Over time, I've realized that as long as we package history in the right way, students can't help but see the commonalities...One of the more engaging ways to package history is with technology."
Watch this video of Abby as she truly wows parents with her very modern approach to teaching their children ancient history.
Join Abby this month for a curated tour of the Metropolitan Museum of Art: Monday's at the MET for adults and for 9-12th grade students. Part of Summer at St. Luke's academic, arts, sports summer programs for ages 4-adult.
