Hello, social studies teachers!

My name is Tanya Baldwin, I am the new Social Studies Coordinator with the West Virginia Department of Education.  I would like to share a bit of information about myself with you. I was a classroom social studies teacher for sixteen years. I have taught both middle school and high school social studies.

I began my teaching career in Logan County and later moved to Mercer County. Over the years I taught a variety of social studies subjects. Most of my time was spent teaching at the high school level. The last few years in the classroom, I mainly taught U.S. History. 

About three years ago, I moved into higher education and went to work at Concord University. I enjoyed working with students at the college level but am now happy to return my focus to the K-12 classroom.  I am excited to work with the WVDE where I can help West Virginia students and classroom teachers.

Please let us know how we can support you and your classrooms!
