I.E.1. TCi Materials for the following courses: World History, US History, American Government, and Economics
Discussion:
Patrick Clark, Social Studies Teacher from CHS shared the information regarding what the high school group really likes about the TCi curriculum. He said the friendliness of the curriculum and the fact of everything can be printed if you choose not to teach a lesson digitally. They feel it is very well written, and a good level for students. Great hand out and interactive digital activities. The group also really likes that each lesson offers multiple perspectives. Mr. Clark said he is glad both levels chose the same curriculum, there will be so much consistency from grade 5 through high school. |
