@ChoicesProgram This is such a loss

My #WorldHistory students were very creative during their #WWI unit! From creating cartoons to show the causes of the war to writing letters from the trenches as WWI soldiers, they crushed it 😊 @SevernRunAACPS

[Sarah (she/her) @HistoryWithCarr]

I am so proud of my #worldhistory students! My #AP students researched people from the Revolutions unit and met with others in character. And my #honors and #cotaught students researched individuals who resisted imperialism to create #AVID one-pagers 😊

Last week my honors world students embodied Enlightenment thinkers in a speed dating assessment and my standard world students researched a female revolutionary of their choice in a one-pager assessment. They crushed it! @SevernRunAACPS

[Sarah (she/her) @HistoryWithCarr]

My regular and honors #WorldHistory students completed a speed dating assessment where they did a deep dive on someone from the Renaissance or the Protestant Reformation and then met with others in character. It was a lot of prep work, but they did really well! @SevernRunAACPS

[Sarah (she/her) @HistoryWithCarr]

Today my #WorldHistory students started the Protestant Reformation. When I told my students Henry VIII wanted to divorce Catherine so he could marry his pregnant mistress Anne, y'all, the gasps! They were shocked!

When I tell my students to annotate documents to prepare for a discussion, they annotate! #apworld @OldMillHSAACPS

[Sarah (she/her) @HistoryWithCarr]

My #APWorldHistory students closed out the first semester strong with their speed dating assessment! They did a deep dive on an historical figure and then met with others as that person. They were well researched and creative! @OldMillHSAACPS

Thankful to @ECase19 for the opportunity to be reminded of my purpose and to network with my fellow social studies needs! #ncss2023

Today at the Mill we celebrated Halloween (Social Studies dressed up as Will Ferrell characters) and wished the best dude we know a happy retirement! #weneedmorecowbell @OldMillHSAACPS

My #APWorld students studied hard for their first test this week! @OldMillHSAACPS

[Sarah (she/her) @HistoryWithCarr]

@willtragert @HarvardMagazine And universities are exacerbating the problem. Recently, WVU announced cuts in music, world languages, linguistics and creative writing programs. Brandeis is also getting rid of their doctoral program in musicology and music composition. They're responding to the market.

[Sarah (she/her) @HistoryWithCarr]

@willtragert @HarvardMagazine No, you didn't. But this diagram isn't saying kids aren't getting degrees or jobs. It's just saying they're getting them in different things. My takeaway is that schools need to more evenly prepare kids for success in all fields; to include the humanities.

Kicked off year 14 of teaching today ~ here we go! @OldMillHSAACPS

[Eve Social Studies @ECase19]

A triumphant return to in-person for @AACountySchools curriculum academy! Honored to work with 4 teams of talented teachers turned writers! Women’s History, LGBTQ History, Local African American History and U.S. Government are 🔥🔥 for 23-24! @SocStudiesAACPS

[Sarah (she/her) @HistoryWithCarr]

I chaperoned two of my kids for their performance on women breaking barriers in journalism at the National History Day nationals ~ they crushed it!

[Sarah (she/her) @HistoryWithCarr]

I had a great time presenting our excellence in social studies awards this week to two very deserving seniors! @OMSocialStudies @OldMillHSAACPS

@wehedge @NCSSNetwork Averaged out over 10 days (block schedule), it's roughly 40 minutes a day.
