I like sharing individual stories in class. It connects students with history more than dates & events. Retro Report can help me (and you) do just that. Check out this video & lesson plan on Ida Wells. You can type her name in the search for a quick find!

Borrowing the idea, with permission, from a colleague in another state, I decided to share PD opportunities for educators. (Some are for KY or Social Studies only.) I love some good PD. It is fluid and very much a work in progress! canva.com/design/DAHBNkB…

Did not take any pictures, but Jeff Urbin of the FDR Library brought another good session for EPIC It was a discussion on the Holocaust through FDR & highlighted the curriculum guide that teachers can download to use! KEDC Grants

Thank you, Kelly Estepp, for your session with EPIC on evidence & reasoning. KEDC Grants

I was in transit, but listened last week to Maddie Menz with Kentucky Historical Society discussing the America 250/Kentucky 250 resources at KHS with EPIC They have great lessons for Kentucky educators! I'm planning to use a few during this last grading period. KEDC Grants

Jeff from FDR Library always delivers. Catching up on missed EPIC sessions. This was on the Bill of Rights/Constitutional Amendments KEDC Grants

Great book study with EPIC this year. I am positive many teachers are doing these techniques! KEDC Grants

I am thankful to be associated with an organization that supports and encourages educators to become leaders inside and outside of the classroom. Here I am presenting in Nashville to university/college study abroad coordinators & study abroad organizations on the impact of

AI is here. How it is handled and taught to K-12 students is to be determined. A few weeks ago Lisa Nydrick discussed ways to encourage positive and productive use of AI in the classroom EPIC KEDC Grants

When we teach about The Holocaust, we do not always discuss those who resisted or defied the evil that was at the helm. Renee Boss shared the stories and ways to teach Jewish Resistance EPIC KEDC Grants

How do we toss the AI trash and keep the real reasearch? Lisa Nydick shared resources for teachers to help students separate AI fact from fiction. EPIC KEDC Grants

Kelly Estepp shared questioning techniques with us last week. Teaching students how to formulate questions, as they do with QFT, along with how to find answers to those questions, can help build ownership of their learning, deepen inquiry, and strengthen critical thinking.

🚨 The main reason millions of schoolkids watched the Challenger disaster live is because Christa McAuliffe was the first teacher in space. NASA set up special satellite feeds, schools across the country rolled in TVs It wasn’t “almost no one” it was a huge deal in classrooms

If you are in college and considering a study abroad program, I encourage you to check out Gilman Program and Reach The World

I'll be honest. This is so above my head I don't even know where to start, however, shout out to EPIC KEDC Grants for working with the Fed Reserve Bank of Kansas City for providing us this opportunity.
