8th Grade Global Studies
Hi! My name is Nathan Walker. I'm teaching 8th Grade Global Studies this year at Athlos. In my spare time, I enjoying playing golf, music, working out, and reading. This is my first year teaching full time in a classroom, and I'm excited to meet the kids and learn from them!
8th Grade Global Studies will follow the standards layed out by the State of Minnesota. In class, we will explore different regions of the world in a way that blends techniques in political science, economics, geography, and history. Critical thinking is a must in this class!
