Dr.+Margaret++Haviland

My name is Margaret Haviland and this is my second year as a Fellow in the ADVIS PLP cohort. Last year I was the only Fellow without the word "Technology" in my job title. I teach history at Westtown School. This year I have a section of our World History 2 (1000CE-1925) and Advanced US History. This last is a new old course as my degree is in US History and I taught US at Westtown for a number of years. But it has been seven years since I last taught US so I am feeling a bit rusty. The reason it has been so long is that in 2003 I became Westtown's Curriculum Coordinator. I continue to do this work. I love working with adults on reviewing and improving our program. The past few years we have worked through a real shift from focusing on content to intentional discussions on the skills, aptitudes, attitudes and fluencies our students need to be successful in school and after school.

My own goals for this year are to continue to grow my own PLN (Personal Learning Network) and connect my students with students at other schools for meaningful collaborative work.

I look forward to getting to know you and learning from the wisdom of so many as we participate in the PLP Ning.
