🌍 In honor of the anniversary of the U.S. Immigration Act, we're showcasing films that provide a personal perspective on migrants, refugees and displaced persons around the world. Our teaching materials for these films are designed to support students in practicing compassion and humility and making meaningful attempts to understand why refugees flee their homes, what their lives are like, and how everyday people can get involved to help. For grades 4-12.

I’m pleased to share a new article published with Edutopia on reducing end-of-year disengagement in social studies classrooms.

https://www.edutopia.org/article/engaging-high-school-social-studies-students-end-year

The article explores a four-week AP World History thematic investigation project built around:
• inquiry
• source analysis
• thesis development
• scaffolded checkpoints
• student ownership

The goal is to move students from passive review toward genuine historical thinking.
