Mr. Shedd
I have been teaching at Burley for 13 years. I graduated with a double major in anthropology and history from Radford University in 2001. I graduated from UVA with a Masters in Social Studies education in 2004. I love to travel and have been to the following countries: Austria, Germany, Ireland, Mexico, Kenya, Tunisia, Canada, Jamaica, and England. In 7th grade, I had a wonderful history teacher who brought the class alive through stories. I try to do the same for my students. I love reading, fantasy football, star wars, and movies.
