This event is a repeat of the one in July.
Join our Social Studies Consultant, Dr. Katie Knapp, for a one-day workshop dedicated to practical preparation for the Next Generation Social Studies Assessments. These assessments officially begin in grades 4 and 6 along with high school courses in the 2014-2015 school year.
This workshop is designed for social studies, language arts, and special education teachers in Grades 3-12. After a quick overview of the new tests, participants will be introduced to hands-on teaching strategies that will engage children in the learning of all four strands of social studies, particularly in using primary historical sources with children. With Katie’s guidance, participants will work together to locate reliable sources to use with the students and will begin primary source sets aligned to the new Ohio Social Studies Standards. All participants will be asked to add to the resource sets after the completion of the workshop through the EduPlanet 21 platform and will receive continued professional support through EduPlanet as well.
