Manage episode 457197143 series 3617067
What happens when a history lesson leaps off the pages of a textbook and transforms into a gripping debate of independence? Matthew Perry, an educator at Davis Academy in Dunwoody, Georgia, knows the answer. On this episode of Spotlight for Success, our guest Matthew shares an inspiring journey that led him from the University of New Hampshire back to his Atlanta roots, where a chance encounter with a former teacher opened the door to his teaching career. With over two decades of experience, Matthew has not only written the curriculum for seventh and eighth grade social studies but has also inspired countless students by transforming traditional lessons into dynamic reenactments, like the Second Continental Congress.
