Thomas Sampson
@thomassampson
I build engaging history and social studies learning experiences for students.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I've supported students as a teacher assistant at Turkey Hill School, a substitute paraprofessional in Milford and Orange public schools, and a social skills paraprofessional. I create and facilitate lesson plans, guide small-group work, support student presentations, and prioritize academic and social wellbeing.
I'm studying history and education at the College of William & Mary, with additional study in history, intersectional theology, and Hispanic studies at Universidad de Santiago de Compostela. As a public history tour guide with NIAHD and a junior member of the Orange Historical Society, I connect visitors and students with historical records, oral accounts, and Revolutionary history; I'm also certified fluent in Spanish.
