Welcome MUN Freshmen!
This year's Global Issues/World Geography classes for Model United Nations students will be taught by Mrs. Levine and me. I'm Mr. Trev - a "freshman teacher" with a good bit of life experience and a passion for developing "world changers" at Tustin High. Mrs. Levine is the "Queen of THS MUN" and my mentor in becoming the best teacher and MUN advisor I can be.
Together with Mr. Waldram, we want to develop students who use the study of global issues as a tool to become great communicators. We're here to help you master the skills of researching and listening, so that you can comprehend the issues that are important in our world and state your case with eloquence!
On top of that, we're going to have a blast cheering each other on, travelling the world and making incredible memories.
Let's Change the World Together!
Mr. Trev
