Problem of Practice: How can we increase student knowledge of the historical progression of the human experience?
District: West Hempstead
School: George Washington Elementary
Facilitator: Frank Morisco
Principal: Michelle Notti
Core Teacher Grade 5: Ashleigh Longo
The overall goal is to increase student knowledge of the historical progression of human experience. I will engage students in an exploration of the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age using the mindsets of a mathematician, scientist, economist and engineer. We will utilize 3-D printing and other technologies to create replicas of stone-age tools. An integral part is ongoing collaboration with other grant and non- grant teachers in utilizing their acquired resources while developing new ones.
