Abstract: Adventures in the Classroom and Our Nation's Capital chronicles my career as a social studies teacher.Starting in Connecticut and upstate New York, you will read the struggles of a young teacher learning his craft in diff erent public and private, rural, suburban, and small town schools while also searching for meaning in America and American history.After arriving in northern Virginia, I immediately took advantage of nearby Washington, DC, for fi eld trips, guest speakers, and accessing DC for the betterment of my students.The fi eld trips would exceed 100 during my career as well as half as many guest speakers.Exploiting DC would ultimately lead to creating the largest intern placement program in the United States as my political science students invaded Capitol Hill (and other offi ces) every spring.■
