Daniel Lusk - World History w/ Biblical Perspective

As a self proclaimed life-long learner, Danielle Lusk has spent the majority of her life in the classroom in one way or another. Earning her bachelor's degree in psychology, and later a master’s degree in education, Danielle has spent 7 years teaching the core subjects in the public school system in Mississippi and Kentucky. Upon hearing the call to homeschool, she has spent the last two years pouring into her three children’s education, who are currently in 4th, 7th and 9th grade. Despite making the difficult decision to leave the classroom, she is grateful for God’s provision of opportunities to continue to be in different classroom settings, which include both instructing at Raising Arrows Co-op in social studies and communications, as well as serving as a part time instructor within the College of Communications and Information Sciences at the University of Kentucky. Danielle is very excited to create engaging lessons and build relationships with students to create a classroom environment with Raising Arrows Academy that will challenge students to reach a broader understanding of the history of our world, while enjoying being in the classroom together.
