| Overview: |
| How do social studies teachers maximize instruction to ensure students are prepared for informed civic life? This workshop is for teachers who know that the discipline of social studies is more than simply memorizing dates and facts-it encapsulates the skillful ability to conduct investigations, analyze sources, place events in historical context, and synthesize divergent points of view. |
Session 1: Surface level learning
- Explore the science of learning to understand how concepts aid retention and transfer of learning.
- Choose disciplinary lenses, anchoring concepts, and sub-concepts to guide a unit of study.
|
Session 2: Deep learning
- Investigate how questions can guide learning and point student attention to deeper structural patterns of the discipline.
- Write compelling and conceptual relationship questions that engage students and build organizational structure in students’ brains.
|
Session 3: Transfer learning
- Determine specific instances, case studies, historical contexts, or current events, where students will apply their learning to unlock a new situation.
- Find or create novel contexts where students can apply conceptual understanding.
