Meet the People: Robert Howard

“I was a Staff Sergeant in the U.S. Marine Corps, then I went on to work as a private criminal defense investigator in Las Vegas, NV. I am now working as a U.S. History teacher for 7th grade. I believe in creating equitable learning environments within the classroom and building positive relationships with students to enhance their learning within the classroom.”

QNA With Robert Howard

What brought you to NVCCE?

It was an opportunity that was presented to me by my supervisor Karlye Mattie

What do you love most about the work you do with our civic engagement programs?

This is a topic that I have a passion for. I truly enjoy watching the students develop their understanding and observing the development of their ideas with each new piece of information.

What is your vision of NVCCE in the future?

It would be great to create a database of resources that can assist educators in creating differentiated learning assessments for their classroom. This could be ways to collaborate with other subject areas or arts integration pieces that can really solidify student learning.
