Activities and Presentations:
In July 2008, the U.S. Department of Education (Teaching American History Grant Program) awarded Crescent Public School $500,000 to implement an intensive 3 year professional development program supporting the teaching and learning of American history.
The program is offered to all K-12 teachers who are responsible for teaching the content of the state-required American history standards.
Project Partners:
Project Goals:
- to improve the quality and results of teaching American history as a separate subject matter in each rural project school;
- to increase teachers' application of Oklahoma's PASS standards and national standards to classroom teaching;
- to improve teachers' skills in integrating content knowledge of American history with effective, engaging teaching strategies;
- to develop and disseminate a sustainable and effective model for collaboration in improving the teaching of traditional Americal history as a separate subject matter.
The primary goal is to raise student achievement by improving teachers' knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of traditional American history.
History is the record of human experience, revealing how individuals and societies resolved their problems and disclosing the consequences of their choices. By studying the choices and decisions of the past, students can confront today's problems and choices with a deeper awareness of their alternatives and the likely consequences.
