Mystic Seaport Teachers of the Year Summer Institute

Museums utilize their collections to tell a story about the past. How can you have students develop inquiry using museum collections? How would one even start? For an example, the Smithsonian explains the collaboration behind developing an exhibit, and the evidence they will curate from the collection to support a claim. Think about how you may be able to do something similar with your own students while at the Seaport. For our purposes, digital copies of handouts and an inquiry template is curated into a shared Google drive. NEW LINK TO GOOGLE DRIVE. Please feel free to download anything you need here, but please do not remove items from the drive. A folder-within-a-folder has been set up to store your work and to collaborate with your peers. For the purpose of the Mystic Seaport for Educators site, we would ideally want as many inquiries as possible to be published. Inquiry & Connections to the CT Core Standards The link t

Hinman Image The goal of Teach It is to help Connecticut’s teachers bring Connecticut history into the classroom through a series of inquiry-based activities that reinforce the principles found in the new social studies frameworks . In these pages you will find activities that link local events to national events so students can understand our state’s contributions that shaped our community, history, and heritage. Do you have a Connecticut primary (or secondary) source you already use in your classroom? Consider writing an inquiry activity to share with other teachers! Start HERE by using a template to get your inquiry in order before starting the submission form on TeachITCT.org . The source you use must be digitized for publication on the website.

Inquiry & Global Health

The World Affairs Council Workshop Series on Global Health is intended to support the Connecticut Social Studies Frameworks in middle-grades inquiry. If you have not yet read the Frameworks, you may find the PDF document here. TeachUNICEF has leveled materials and units for teaching about global health issues. Consider that UNICEF deals with areas of conflict, so the regions covered will be areas that have experienced conflict. Consider, however, that areas of conflict are often in regions affected by climate changes or natural/humanitarian disasters. Additional global health simulations for students may be found through this list of resources through the Asia Society. Facing the Future is an organization based on the west coast, and they have several publications on global issues. Unfortunately, the printed materials, although relevant, are already out of date. However, there are some digital sources on their website that are more readily updated: https://www.facingthefuture.or
