Mr. Cao

The world today is so much different than it was just a few years ago.  I strongly believe that teachers have become even more important today.  Here at Bolsa Grande High School, I teach AP Macroeconomics, U.S. History, and ES: Vietnamese American History. These courses aren't just subjects to me; they're windows into understanding our interconnected past, present, and future, helping students navigate economics, democracy, and cultural resilience in today's complex landscape. In alignment with GGUSD's District Goals; Academic Skills (Goal 1), Personal Skills (Goal 2), and Lifelong Success (Goal 3);my instruction builds rigorous knowledge, fosters emotional intelligence and collaboration, and prepares learners for thriving in dynamic careers.

It has now more than ever been advantageous to be digitally literate as, before teaching, I previously worked in a more technologically reliant field which has allowed me to support my students in an ever-changing world where AI is transforming how we learn, work, and think. In the classroom, I look to bridge innovative tools like AI-assisted analysis with timeless pedagogy, empowering students to harness these technologies ethically while sharpening critical thinking.

Whether you're a student, parent, colleague, or curious visitor, I'm thrilled you've landed here. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions, comments or concerns.
