"Listen to Dr. Schauna Findlay, Director of Curriculum and Instruction, describe the forthcoming Common Core State Standards and the state's plan for adopting these standards and developing curriculum maps for teachers to help in the transition from our current Indiana Standards to the new Common Core State Standards. "
By Dr. Bena Kallick "The recent report from the Center on Education Policy (PDF) provides a perspective on the key issues districts will need to deal with as they make a transition from their present work based on state standards to the common core standards."
"WHAT MAKES THE BAD TIMES UNIQUE ?
THE BAD TIMES is the first graphic novel to be produced on the topic of the Great Hunger. Although it is aimed at young readers, like all graphic novels, it can be read and appreciated by people aged from 8 to 80.
More than simply telling a good story based on a tragic event in Irish history, THE BAD TIMES contains many teachable and relatable moments that can introduce young people to issues that are relevant today - concerning social justice, human rights, emigration and dislocation, and love and humanity in the midst of catastrophe.
To assist educators, a number of key curriculum questions have been created by Dr. Anne Dichele of Quinnipiac University and can be found HERE. Additionally, historical background and primary sources have been provided by Professor Christine Kinealy."
