Very often, teachers operate under the assumption that all standards are equally important and that they have to ensure that students are taught all of the standards with the same level of intensity each year.

Power Standards: Focusing on the Essential - 0 views
-
The danger of delivering standards that are an inch deep and a mile wide is that students will inevitably leave a grade level or course with gaps in their learning.
-
prioritize certain standards and performance indicators, rather than giving each of them an equal amount of attention in the curriculum and on assessments.

-
requires teachers to look at the standards vertically. This vertical alignment allows teachers to identify important prerequisite skills students need
-
aligned, purposeful, and essential in identifying those students in need of intervention, remediation, or enrichment.
-
If a collaborative approach to prioritizing standards is not used, then teachers are forced to choose what they feel is essential. Often those decisions are based on a teacher’s comfort level, availability of resources, or personal preferences. This approach does not give all students access to a guaranteed and viable curriculum.
-
“those standards that, once mastered, give a student the ability to use reasoning and thinking skills to learn and understand other curriculum objectives.”
-
support claims in an analysis of substantive topics or texts, using valid reasoning and relevant and sufficient evidence.
-
students will need to read informational texts proficiently and substantiate their claims using evidence from the text when reading, writing, and speaking
-
think of a triple Venn Diagram, and that for the overall success of students each circle in that Venn Diagram has equal importance
-
If every teacher in the grade level or course is emphasizing something different, you do not have a guaranteed curriculum for students.

Has articles and some source material links related to World History. The site (run out of University of Illinois, by the looks) has a strong focus on 'big history.' I hadn't encountered this term before; it seems to mean looking at history not through civilisations but rather periods or regions. If that description is wrong and someone could provide more accuracy on 'big history' that would be cool.

The journal focuses on the New World History (looking at the world at a global scale across time) as opposed to the one civilization at a time approach. See the World History AP course description for an example of what this means: http://www.collegeboard.com/prod_downloads/ap/students/worldhistory/ap-cd-worldhist-0708.pdf David, as an Australian you are at Ground Zero of Big History since its leader is an Australian = David Christian. Christian's _Maps of Time: An Introduction to Big History_ is the one book to read on the subject. This article well covers it: http://www.historycooperative.org/journals/whc/3.1/christian.html Google David Christian, Big History for more

Again, the journal is not specifically focused on Big History but on the New World History, but it did have one issue on Big History as its forum: http://worldhistoryconnected.press.illinois.edu/6.3/ More links than you probably want here about Big History: http://worldhistoryconnected.press.illinois.edu/6.3/maunu2.html This month's forum is on Latin America. Other forums range the gamut of world history.

"The Bubble Project (BP) is a collaborative and interdisciplinary research initiative on the subject of the South Sea Bubble (SSB), the 1720 English episode in what might be called the first great international financial crisis (i.e., the SSB follows upon the collapse of Law's Mississippi scheme in France)." Will we ever learn from history?

The students' documentary was part of National History Day, a program that more than 600,000 middle and high school students participate in each year.
-
They're going to archives, going to museums, doing real historical research. In the process of all this, they learn history, they learn about their nation's past. They learn important skills they can apply in their careers and in college.
-
We have empirical data that proves without a doubt that kids who participate in History Day outperform their peers who don't.

[National History Day] is not just for gifted and talented students; this is a program that does extremely well with kids in the lower quartile.

riginal research, you have an opportunity to form your own opinion on a topic. You're looking at original material. They do have to read secondary material so that they can have context. Have you talked to any teachers about how they're discussing the killing of Osama bin Laden with students? What should teachers be saying to their students? What's the importance of recent history in history class? I haven't had the chance to talk to any teachers since [last] Sunday. But I can tell you that what I hope they're doing is helping young people put this in perspective. I hope they're helping students understand the history of terror and understand why 9/11 happened in the first place. You have to understand the history of the Middle East and the history of the United States' role there, so you can draw some meaning and understanding. Using the word understanding doesn't mean condoning; it just means you need to understand why it may have happened. See how your school stacks up in our rankings of Best High Schools.

This is a wonderful resource - the best on-line zine (oops, I mean e-journal) for world history teachers. Depending on how the editorial board feels, I might have an article published in the next WHC. I found this issue http://worldhistoryconnected.press.illinois.edu/6.2/index.html especially valuable. And the recent articles of James Diskant have been helpful too. Oh, and, of course, this journal is affiliated with the World History Association which every world history teacher should be a part of: http://www.thewha.org/ Best,

You might be surprised at what can be found in the stacks of the Adams building (at 101 Independence Ave. S.E. in Washington). Looking for statistics? We have railroad statistics dating back to 1888, as well as many U.S. Census publications.
