Info

In late April, fourteen HCRHS students and teachers, Lindsay Warren, Derek Khoudja, and Ryan Herbst visited the Czech Republic and Poland. The HCRHS contingent stayed with counterparts from Lyceum V, Krakow Poland. Upon their return to the US, HCRHS staff and students presented their reflections on their trip at the Flemington Jewish Community Center. Videos, blogs, photos, and journals have been compiled for a commemorative webpage on the Social Studies Department site. Teaching American History Grant Application The Teaching American History Grant program is a discretionary grant program funded under Title II-C, Subpart 4 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. The goal of the program is to support programs that raise student achievement by improving teachers' knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of American History. The program supports competitive grants to local educational agencies. The purpose of these grants is to promote the teaching of traditional American History in elementary and secondary schools, as a separate academic subject. Grants are used to improve the quality of history instruction by supporting professional development for teachers of American History. In March, the Social Studies Department collaborated to submit a 2011 Teaching American History Grant Application to the US Department of Education. If awarded, the grant will be for $1,000,000. Funding for the grant is currently pending authorization by the US Congress. HCRHS serves as the lead and organizing district of the Skylands Consortium for the Teaching of American History (SCTAH). The consortium member districts are Elizabeth, Chatham, Watchung Hills Regional, North Hunterdon-Voorhees Regional, Bernards Township, Bridgewater-Raritan, Warren Hills, Flemington-Raritan, Readington Township, Delaware Township, and East Amwell Township. SCTAH has partnered with Rutgers University, Columbia University Teachers College, the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, the Foundation for Teaching Economics and local history centers including the New Jersey Vietnam Veterans Memorial to propose a dynamic three-year (300 hour) professional development program. The specific project goals of SCTAH are to increase teacher content knowledge of American History; recruit and retain program participants; improve teaching practices; increase student content knowledge of American History; and increase student appreciation of American History. SCTAH has enlisted the services of Dr. Paul Clemens of Rutgers University to serve as project historian and Dr. William Gaudelli of Columbia University Teachers College who will serve as the project’s pedagogical advisor. If SCTAH is not awarded a TAH grant this year due to budget constraints, the application will be resubmitted in the 2012 competition. Curriculum Mapping and Alignment with State and Voluntary National Standards In 2010-2011, the Social Studies Department began revising and updating its required curricular offerings pursuant to the HCRHS Vision and Goals, as well as the 2009 NJCCCSSS. In April, the department began an investigation into Rubicon Atlas curriculum mapping software. Rubicon Atlas is a platform for writing online curriculum units in Understanding by Design (UbD) format. Further, Atlas aligns the curriculum units with the NJCCCSSS, the Common Core, and voluntary national standards. In May, department members attended a professional development conference at Watchung Hills High School on curriculum mapping and the use of Rubicon Atlas software. In June, the department voted unanimously to pilot Rubicon Atlas. The department will utilize Atlas throughout 2011-12 to revise its required US History and Comparative World Studies curricula in UbD format according to the NJCCCSSS. Staff Development 110
