I try to build in opportunities for student choice in curriculum, which usually means I don't get through all the standards.  

My classes are from an outer-ring suburb of the Twin Cities, with about 20-25% diversity, with class sizes being 28-34 students.  ]]> 2022-03-31 00:57:54 UTC https://padlet.com/kara_knight/cb3kq1rbm3wdd95k/wish/2122532943 maranda_cameron https://padlet.com/kara_knight/cb3kq1rbm3wdd95k/wish/2139357288 I spend the beginning of the year on gov't & civics, then focus on dakota and ojibwe origins and interactions with others (fur trade and war), MN becomes a state, civil war, 3 industries, immigration (1800's and recent) , and WWII if there's time.  ]]> 2022-04-11 15:25:28 UTC https://padlet.com/kara_knight/cb3kq1rbm3wdd95k/wish/2139357288 maranda_cameron https://padlet.com/kara_knight/cb3kq1rbm3wdd95k/wish/2139358445 I skip Sodbusters, WWI, Cold War, and Minnesota today.]]> 2022-04-11 15:26:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kara_knight/cb3kq1rbm3wdd95k/wish/2139358445 maranda_cameron https://padlet.com/kara_knight/cb3kq1rbm3wdd95k/wish/2139359453 My top 3 priorities are:
1. to foster historical thinking skills through project based learning and research
2. to honor students backgrounds through investigation of past immigration and recent immigration
3. help students understand government and the way it helps people gain agency when they feel powerless]]> 2022-04-11 15:26:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kara_knight/cb3kq1rbm3wdd95k/wish/2139359453
