The Ballenger Teachers Center would like to thank EIU Alumna, Dr. Annette Christy, for her generous donation of History and Civics Curriculum Materials. Our secondary education students will benefit from updated American History and Civics textbooks as they prepare for practicum and student teaching.
Dr. Annette Christy, Class of 1964, graduated with a major in Latin and Spanish from E.I.U. She began her teaching career of 43 years at the secondary level. Then, she earned a Masters in Library Science from Chicago State U. She then earned a Doctorate in Educational Technology from Nova Southeastern University. She became a mentor for groups of on-site and online doctoral studies for Nova while still remaining a middle school media specialist in the Upstate of South Carolina. Her fond memories of studying at the Booth Library inspired her to start contributing to the Ballenger Teachers Center in those areas of need that are suggested by the staff. It is her hope that these materials will be used to promote a joy of learning and enrichment.
Here is a complete list of titles donated:
