Project Partners:
Project Goals:
- Students will demonstrate an increase in achievement on American History course content.
- Participating teachers will demonstrate an increase in knowledge of American History.
- Participating teachers will demonstrate an increase in American History pedagogical skills and technology use in the classroom.
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.
