I teach (part-time while I'm in rabbinical school) at a Jewish High School, and I've taught classes in Torah (Bible) and in Jewish Ethics and in Jewish Law. If I were teaching secular studies (which I've never done in a classroom, although I've done a lot of tutoring) I'd be teaching either Literature or History. Ideally, I'd follow Snowy's model and do an integrated Humanities curriculum of Literature, History, and Western Thought.
