Holly Jackson Shelton teaches Leadership and Problem Solving at a Title I middle school in Charlotte, NC. She has a passion for curriculum development and making middle school as enjoyable as possible. After spending her first 6 years in the classroom as a 7th grade Social Studies teacher, PLC leader, and grade level leader, she took on the challenge of creating three elective courses to align with her school’s new leadership magnet program. Now in year two of implementation, and after lots of trial and error, she has created 3 distinct course offerings focused on developing critical thinking skills, problem-solving skills, personal leadership, and global perspectives. Some of her students’ favorite lessons include the “I Am Habit” seminar in 6th grade, the zombie apocalypse survival guide in 7th grade, the social media problem unit in 8th grade, and all students love doing her self-created teamwork escape rooms.
