This will be a working Baobab divided into 1/3 segments for the 1.5 hours. The goal is to develop a model curriculum for high school teachers that is approved by the WHA. It will be a roadmap to one of the ways that World History can be currently taught. Additionally, all high school educators and WHA members attend free of charge.
The first half hour, Dr. Brittiani McNeil (Ed.D. specialist in assessment) will describe ways we can support high quality world history education in government standards and model curricula by engaging with policy makers and legislators. During the second half hour, the other three panelists discuss developing practical methods to advocate for high-quality history standards (Pamela McVay, Stephen Jackson, Angela Lee). Finally, the last portion of the night will be breakout sessions on the feasibility of WHA standards statement on curriculum.
