American History 1 Are you ready for:

Goals for Today:  Are you ready for change?  What is different about AM1 from US?  How is AM1 laid out?  How do we teach the new standards?  How do we teach conceptually?

Change Happens

How do you feel about change? On the “How you feelin’?” side of the paper, choose one of the pictures that best represents how you feel about changing to American History 1. Then, write a brief MEME caption for the picture.

So, What Is Different About AM1? American History 1 U.S. History  8 Standards  Exploration to the End of Reconstruction  6 Units  Concepts Drive Course Supported by Facts  Skills Are A Major Component  4 Interconnected Dimensions are the 1 st Standard  12 Goals  New Nation to Modern Day  12 Units  Facts Drive Course

To this: Education, then, beyond all other devices of human origin, is the great equalizer of the conditions of men—the balance-wheel of the social machinery.... But I mean that it gives each man the independence and the means by which he can resist the selfishness of other men. - Twelfth Annual Report of Horace Mann as Secretary of Massachusetts State Board of Education, 1848 According to Horace Mann, why was education an important institution for Americans? A It created a spirit of nationalism. B It inspired citizens to actively participate in government. C It encouraged equality of opportunity within society. D It supported equity in the workplace. So, What Is Different About AM1? Test questions go from this: 17. Which person is most associated with education reform? A Horace Mann B Lucretia Mott C Theodore Weld D Elizabeth Stanton

What Are the 4 interconnected Dimensions?  Chronological Thinking  Historical Comprehension  Historical Analysis and Interpretation  Historical Research

What Do I Do to Teach Standard One? What are some ideas you have to ensure you teach with the 4 interconnected dimensions in mind? Share your ideas with a partner? So, what were some of your ideas?

So, How Are The American history 1 Standards Organized?  8 Standards  Standard 1 – 4 Interconnected Dimensions  Standard 2 – Turning Points in History  Standard 3 – Exploration, Immigration, Migration  Standard 4 – Conflict and Compromise  Standard 5 – Freedom, Equality, Power  Standard 6 – International Affairs and Foreign Policy  Standard 7 – War  Standard 8 – Progress, Crisis, “American Dream” Our Standards ARE NOT

Standard 1 – 4 Interconnected Dimensions Standard 2 – Turning Points in History (8-12% of NC Final) o These are expected to be incorporated to each unit. o They are not specifically listed in the Unit Documents. o Turning Points refers to political, economic, and social turning points. This is not military battles as turning points in a war. 5 th Grade 5.H.1.3 Analyze the impact of major conflicts, battles and wars on the development of our nation through Reconstruction. AM1 AH1.H.2.1 Analyze key political, economic, and social turning points from colonization through Reconstruction in terms of causes and effects. AH1.H.2.2 Evaluate key turning points from colonization through Reconstruction in terms of their lasting impact. So, How Are The American history 1 Standards Organized?

 Standard 3 – Exploration, Immigration, Migration  # of Objectives – Four - Only 3.1 deals with exploration, nothing else  Units of Focus – 1 and 5  13-17% of NC Final  Standard 4 – Conflict and Compromise  # of Objectives - Four  Topics – Politics, Economy Society, Culture  Units of Focus – 2, 4, 5, 6  31-35% of NC Final  Standard 5 – Freedom, Equality, Power  # of Objectives - Two  Topic – a) Views of Freedom and Equality Contribute to Politics and Economics b) Three Branches Affect Distribution of Power  Units of Focus – 1, 2, 3, 6  11-15% of NC Final So, How Are The American history 1 Standards Organized?

 Standard 6 – International Affairs and Foreign Policy  # of Objectives - Two  Topics – a) Economic and Political Interests Help Set Foreign Policy b) Reasons for War (International/Foreign)  Units – 2 and 3  8-12% of NC Final  Standard 7 – War  # of Objectives - Three  Topics – Political, Economic, and Cultural Impact  Units – 2, 3, 5, 6  13-17% of NC Final  Standard 8 – Progress, Crisis, “American Dream”  # of Objectives - Three  Topics – Innovation, Opportunity/Mobility, Opportunity and Perception of “American Dream”  Units – 1, 4, 5  3-7% of NC Final So, How Are The American history 1 Standards Organized?

So, What is in the standards?

So, How Are The American history 1 Standards Organized? The unpacked document is a good guide.unpacked document - This was the focus for creating the units and is used to develop NC Final Test questions. The standards tend to overlap. Just because a standard is a focus for a unit, does not mean ALL of the objectives are in the unit. The standards for AM2 are the exact same, except for 3.1! There is some overlap between AM1 and AM2. Things to Keep In Mind

So, How Are the American history 1 units Organized? 6 Units Unit 1: Exploration and the Settlement of the 13 English Colonies Unit 2: The American Revolution Unit 3: The Young Republic Unit 4: Political Conflict, Industrialization, and Reform Unit 5: Manifest Destiny Unit 6: A House Divided All Units and Documents can be found on the SS Webpage and in Edmodo !SS Webpage Edmodo

The Curriculum is not completely chronological. WHY? A)History happens simultaneously. B)Conceptual teaching does not rely on chronological teaching. So, How Are the American history 1 units Organized?

Unit 1 ( ) Unit 2 ( ) Unit 3 ( ) Unit 4 Unit 5 Unit 6 ( ) ( ) ( ) Jackson Industrialization Reform Manifest Destiny Mexican War Westward Expansion Immigration Slavery Sectionalism Civil War Reconstruction Sectionalism Within

So, How Are the American history 1 units Organized?

So, How do we Teach the new Standards? It’s a forest!!!! Trees Pine Tree Animals Insects Plants Moss Skunk Peat Moss Fern Termites

So, How do we Teach Conceptually? Concept --- Forest. What makes a forest? Why are they important? How do the individual pieces work together? What problems are there?

So, How do we Teach Conceptually? But, they need the facts!!! They don’t know this information!

So, How do we Teach Conceptually? What do you want them to know, understand, and be able to do in 10 years? What do you want to stick?

So, How do we Teach the new Standards Conceptually? What do you know? 1.Write down all that you know about the topic. Be thorough! 2.What is the main point that you really want to get across? 3.What is essential to getting this point across?

So, How do we Teach the new Standards Conceptually? Let’s Investigate the Units.

So, How do we Teach the new Standards Conceptually? So, how you feelin’ now?
