Introduction
Abstract
My first year of teaching, I was handed a thick binder filled with curriculum on American history. The blue covered three-ring binder was both distressing and distressed. How would I ever be able to read through this jam-packed, minutely planned curriculum while also covering the accompanying 400-page textbook? It seemed impossible. It was impossible. So, like many who had walked similar halls, and dreamed the idealistic dreams of early teacherhood, I departed from the textbook.
