Mrs. Lindi Arnold
Hello!
My name is Lindi Arnold.
This is my third year at Canyon del Oro High School, but my 10th as a classroom teacher. I'm a lifelong Arizonan who attended Northern Arizona University for both my bachelor's degree and masters. Previously, I taught 8 years at another high school and jumped at the chance to join the CDO staff. I'm so excited to be a Dorado! I have always wanted to be in education, first as a theatre teacher, but I instead found my heart belonged to History. I am a self-proclaimed "History Nerd" and want to share my knowledge with my students.
I live in the district and 3 of my children also attend Amphitheater schools. My husband, children, dog and I love to go on adventures, visit our huge family and explore all the fun things Arizona has to offer. I teach Advanced Placement World History: Modern (WHAM for short) and standard World History.
I'm passionate about helping all students and giving them a safe and encouraging environment to grow into the amazing young adults they ALL have the potential to be.
Defining Moment in Education:
My aunt inspired me to want to become a teacher. She taught junior high English and her love for the written word, for grammar, and for expressing herself made me want to share my passions with others too. I first wanted to be a theatre teacher, but fell in love with history through an elective course in college. I decided to combine the two and I approach teaching through historical storytelling.
Core Educational Belief:
I believe my students are capable of great things. I believe all students can learn, but it is up to me to inspire, encourage, and support them in their educational journey.
Prior Experience:
My first teaching position was at Mountain View High School in Tucson, AZ. I taught there for 8 years.
My second teaching position is here at Canyon del Oro. This will be my 3rd year.
In my career I have taught:
World History (9th/10th grades)
United States History (11th grade)
United States Government and Politics (12th grade)
Advanced Placement: World History Modern Era (9th/10th grades)
United States History/American Literature Honors Block (11th grade)
