Hello and welcome to Advanced Placement United States History. My name is Victoria Rozner. I grew up in the colonial United States and moved to Texas in the 4th grade. I graduated in 2004 from Cuero ISD, 2007 from the Victoria College, and 2015 from the University of Houston-Victoria with a degree in Humanities & History. This will be my 6th year as both a West Warrior and an AP US History teacher.
What is APUSH?
In AP U.S. History, students investigate significant events, individuals, developments, and
processes in nine historical periods from approximately 1491 to the present. Students
develop and use the same skills and methods employed by historians: analyzing primary
and secondary sources; developing historical arguments; making historical connections;
and utilizing reasoning about comparison, causation, and continuity and change. The course
also provides eight themes that students explore throughout the course in order to make
connections among historical developments in different times and places: American and
national identity; work, exchange, and technology; geography and the environment; migration
and settlement; politics and power; America in the world; American and regional culture; and
social structures.
