separated so that you could teach it as just a<br />
Social Studies or Language Arts Course.<br />
Note: The course was designed around British<br />
Lit/Historical Exploration
<strong>In</strong>structional Development<br />
When our course first began, it was only<br />
<strong>of</strong>fered online. Because <strong>of</strong> scheduling<br />
difficulties associated with elective<br />
courses in a CTE environment, we<br />
continue to <strong>of</strong>fer our course online.

Observations<br />
Successes:<br />
1. Students were able to see the connections between the two courses.<br />
2. <strong>In</strong>structors were able to combine aspects <strong>of</strong> both curriculums.<br />
3. Students were forced to develop higher order thinking similar to collegelevel<br />
curriculums<br />
Pitfalls<br />
1. We were unable to have both instructors in-class for both periods due to<br />
scheduling conflicts<br />
2. We had to spend a great deal <strong>of</strong> independent time developing resources<br />
because there was not a joint planning period<br />
3. We were too late in developing our program to get course counseling for<br />
students in their Junior year, so we had to recruit students independently

Need for increased federal and state<br />

Questions
“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and<br />
many <strong>of</strong> our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad,<br />
wholesome, charitable views <strong>of</strong> men and things can not be acquired<br />
by vegetating in one little corner <strong>of</strong> the earth all one's lifetime.”<br />
