About the Author/Presenter: Erin McGowan Sassaman is a high school social studies teacher in Scotch Plains, NJ, and mother of two bright, beautiful girls. She has a politics degree from New York University and Masters in School Counseling. Because the classes she teaches have been filled with rich discourse amongst teenagers about topics that make grown adults queasy, she offers a little bit of insight into how to possibly replicate that in “real life” for the reader.
