About the Course

This class is geared for elementary teachers who want to celebrate the contributions of eight ground breaking male history makers in American history. Educators will actively participate in building skills using timelines, Google Earth, Visual Thinking Strategies, and vocabulary/comprehension skills centered around the contributions of Robert Smalls, Jonas Salk, Cesar Chavez, Fred Rogers, Harvey Milk, Roberto Clemente, Barack Obama, and Lin-Manuel Miranda. Throughout this course, educators will see how to build a strong cross-curricular set of lessons geared to interests/needs of their own ELL students while supporting their students in language development, mapping skills, and critical thinking. This 2 credit class will allow educators to practice acquisition of new skills while creating a set of cross-curricular lessons for their students.
