This post is the final one of a seven-part series called “A Day in the Life of a ….”

Amanda Levy* loves teaching about the past — while preparing her scholars for their futures. As a ninth grade World History teacher at Success Academy High School of the Liberal Arts, she’s used to discussing everything from Mongols to majors with her scholars. Ms. Levy describes herself as a classroom facilitator; even though she loves to talk — especially about history — she makes sure that scholars are driving the conversation.
