Geared toward teachers of history in the middle grades (5-8), this professional development workshop series provides participants with an in-depth experience in utilizing inquiry-based lessons. This sequence of workshops seeks to break the lecture/note-taking/testing cycle and guide teachers toward a more student-centered pedagogy.
The goals of Historical Thinking in the Middle Grades are:
1. Delving into the concepts of historical thinking models backed by research and experience
2. Practicing the design, planning and instructional techniques involved in historical thinking usage
3. Experiencing a myriad of resources that support historical thinking in middle grade classrooms
4. Aligning PA Content Standards and PA Core Standards to history instruction
5. Creating and utilizing assessments that measure students' comprehension of historical thinking concepts
