Maureen McCorry is founder of TeachHistoryNow.  Maureen has taught US and world history,
world cultures and geography, government, economics, and contemporary foreign policy for
twenty years. Maureen’s expertise includes interdisciplinary course design that incorporates
service and civic action, leveraging partnerships with artists, scholars, diplomats, government
agencies, and community-based organizations from Modesto to Silicon Valley. Travel,
especially to China, Chile, Cuba, Iran, Israel/Palestine and Mexico, has transformed her
teaching and world view. As a methods professor and supervisor to credential candidates at
Stanislaus State University, Maureen has promoted instruction and lesson design that is
rigorous, culturally responsive, and develops student voice and agency. Most recently,
Maureen launched the Central Valley site of the California Global Education Project at
Stanislaus State and served as its inaugural director. Maureen serves as the Central Valley
regional representative for Human Rights Educators, USA.

We are grateful for the generous support of our members, individual donors, and The Puffin Foundation Ltd
The core values of HRE USA and its partner organizations include transparency and critical thinking skills. We believe that human rights--and human rights education--belong to everyone, and that the full realization of human rights means that access to human rights education materials must never be conditioned upon the subscription to any particular religious faith, ideology, political affiliation, or membership in any particular organization and that any organizational connections should be openly acknowledged.
