Woodford County Social Studies teachers have worked for decades to create a place for students to explore the world outside the four-walls of the school. From curriculum to community engagement, our teachers are committed to the discipline of creating active thinkers, questioners, and the next generation of active democratic participants in our community. Check out our Social Studies White Paper for ideas on how to focus your social studies community on the wider goals of global learning.

Since the advent of the C3 Framework, teachers in our district have worked to include inquiry based practices in our social studies classrooms. While we believe that all teachers have a unique style and voice, many of our teachers have integrated the Inquiry Design Model (IDM) to challenge and empower students to become life-long learners. Check out the documentary "Making Inquiry Possible" to see how our featured teachers approach the challenges of inquiry based learning in their classrooms.

Local history is big history in Woodford County. For the past several years former teachers, community members, and students from the district and local universities have built and implemented a plan to highlight local Black history by acknowledging the significance of the Huntertown hamlet. Check out their plans and progress to see how you can use local history to make "glocal" connections.
