Teachers should create a collaborative environment where students locate, read, annotate, discuss and revise materials for their research.
C3LC_Waring_ap_Run Through_4-27-15_compressed.ppt
This document provides an overview of Dimension 3 of the C3 Framework, which focuses on evaluating sources and using evidence. It discusses two main indicators: gathering and evaluating sources, and developing claims and using evidence. For gathering and evaluating sources, it emphasizes finding information from various sources and determining relevance. For developing claims, it stresses the ability to understand relationships between claims and evidence and to select evidence purposefully to support arguments. The document also introduces the SOURCES framework for evaluating sources and provides examples of how to guide students through each step, from scrutinizing the fundamental source to summarizing final thoughts. It directs teachers to Library of Congress resources for primary sources.
The Student As Historian - DBQ Strategies and Resources for Teaching History
Who's the historian in your classroom? Do the students get to watch (and listen) to the teacher be historian? I have spent my career developing teaching strategies and assembling resources that foster the student as historian.
This downloadable SlideShare accompanies my workshop in “Teaching with Documents.” Don't think of it as a presentation. It's a online guide to resources and includes strategy illustrations from my workshop.
That's certainly what you would have seen early in my teaching career. I was the one doing most of the reading, reflecting and synthesizing of historic material. I thought my job was to distill it all and simplify for consumption by my students. It took me a few years to realize my job was to get the students to be the historians (and economists, anthropologists, etc). Since then I have spent my career developing teaching strategies and assembling resources that foster the student as historian.
This downloadable SlideShare accompanies my workshop in “Teaching with Documents.” Don't think of it as a presentation. It's a online guide to resources and includes strategy illustrations from my workshop.

What Do We Do Now That We're Here?
This document provides guidance on maximizing classroom time in a blended learning class. It suggests using online space for providing background information and initial discussions, while reserving classroom time for presenting research, critiquing ideas, and continuing conversations. Classroom activities may include assessing prior knowledge, complicating content through discussions and simulations, and taking a closer look at topics through analysis and debate. The goal is to make strategic use of different learning environments.
NCSS 2012 Blended Learning
This document describes an 11th and 12th grade blended learning history class taught by Meredith Stewart at Cary Academy in North Carolina. The class meets twice a week in person and uses online platforms for independent work and discussion outside of class. Key aspects include:
1) Students explore history thematically rather than chronologically, completing projects on topics like immigration, war memorials, and social movements.
2) Students interact with subject experts through activities like a Supreme Court simulation and cumulative research projects.
3) Students provide positive feedback that the blended approach allows deeper exploration of ideas than a traditional classroom and encourages independent thinking.
MeetTeacher2012
Meredith Stewart teaches 8th grade advisory and world history. She emphasizes depth over breadth of content, strong writing and public speaking skills, and a global focus. In world history, students participate in hands-on learning like a Y1K festival and make mini-documentary films. Formal essays and debates help develop critical thinking. For American history, students have increased freedom and responsibility over project work, and participate in simulations of elections and the Supreme Court. Grades are in a single category and homework is typically posted weekly online.
NCTE 2011 ePortfolios
The document discusses creating ePortfolios for students to showcase their work and growth over time. It explains that ePortfolios allow students to collect work in a variety of media formats, select pieces to include, and write reflections on their learning and progress. Different students may structure their ePortfolios in various ways, like cottages or mansions, but the goal is for students to tell their own learning story and see themselves as growing more capable over the school year.
Bacon’s rebellion (va)
Bacon's Rebellion occurred in 1676 in Virginia where farmers were upset that Indians were taking their land and a farmer was murdered. This led to a rebellion against the governor who refused the farmers' demands, resulting in a war where Jamestown was set on fire. The rebellion grew so large that it left the governor sick and near death.
Study guide for 8th graders
The Piedmont plateau extends from New Jersey to Alabama between the coastal plains and the Appalachian Mountains. The Appalachian Mountains formed a barrier for east-west travel and colonists settled up to the foot of the mountains. The Mayflower Compact was the first set of laws in the New World and was signed by 41 passengers before landing in Plymouth to live in peace and work for the common good.
Role Reversal (NCAIS 21st Cent 2011)
Teachers are increasingly learning from their students as students have grown up with technology and can teach skills like using smartphones, tablets, and apps to their teachers. This role reversal challenges traditional teacher-student hierarchies and positions students as experts who can teach teachers new technologies.
Supporting & Fostering Innovation
This document discusses ways that administrators can support and foster innovation among teachers. It notes that teachers may be prevented from innovating due to lack of time, becoming stuck in routines, fear of failure, uncertainty, and institutional hurdles such as lack of resources and schedule constraints. The document recommends that administrators create space, time, and trust for teachers, support blended learning, offer incentives, provide digital resources, allow teachers choices, and model risk-taking in order to encourage innovation in the classroom.

NCAIS Innovate
This document outlines a US History blended learning environment that incorporates various online and in-person activities for students, including accessing an online space, writing letters to Congress members, working on war memorial projects, participating in a mock Supreme Court, getting responses from experts, shifting through timelines, and the teacher providing in-person class instruction. It also provides contact information and links to related resources.
ASCD2011
The document discusses making pedagogy more transparent and collaborative. It argues that the relationship between structure and freedom in education is not an either-or proposition. Good instruction requires both structure and allowing students freedom. The author advocates for creating a context that fosters dialogue, democratic decision-making, and teaching students to assume responsibility. Teachers are encouraged to share experiences and failures, solicit feedback, and offer choices to students. This helps prevent teacher burnout by keeping educators constantly learning.
SE Brain Conference Preso
This document discusses a US History blended learning environment where students learn differently than in a traditional classroom. In the blended environment, students meet only two days a week but engage in in-depth long-term projects, motivate themselves to research topics independently, and actually remember what they learn. During online time, students provide background, have discussions with experts, and present independent research. In the classroom, they explore prior knowledge about US wars and collaborate with others on war memorial projects and applying their knowledge. The environment shifts away from constant test preparation and encourages independent learning both online and in the classroom.

Teaching With Primary Sources NCAIS 2014
- 1. Teaching with Primary Sources Meredith Stewart Cary Academy meredithstewart.com
- 2. Questioning Assumptions From a blog post by a fellow teacher… Is it our job to teach the skills one needs to be a professional historian or is it our job to expose students to the patterns of history and to teach them to think critically? Are we forcing a “skill” on students that is not relevant to them and actually makes the subject boring to students?
- 5. How My Approach to Using Primary Sources Changed Before: Lots of leading and/or detailed questions Jefferson thinks the people at the Constitutional Convention are overreacting to Shays’ Rebellion. What does he worry they might do as they write the new Constitution? After: Less guidance, especially early on Observe- What do you notice? Reflect- Where do you think this came from? Why do you think it was made? Question- What do you wonder about as you look at this?
