ROD FRANCHI
Rod Franchi has been teaching AP US History at Novi HS in Novi, MI for over 20 years. Rod believes the key to teaching APUSH is for the kids to become historians--for the year at least! Methods to teach APUSH--especially writing and other skills--are his speciality. Recently, Rod wrote the book, 19th Century American History for Teens, which helps kids see threads that bind together the bits of history. He has been an APUSH Reader multiple times and served as Social Studies Department Chair for 15 years--in addition to various leadership positions at the county and state levels. Rod led two webinars in AP US History practices for the College Board, and was a contributor for the APUSH textbook, By the People. At his workshops, Rod shares lots of lessons and resources, but his central focus is to help teachers build their APUSH courses to fit their styles and the students' needs.
