Queens (English Language Learners)

With partners from the Queens College School of Education and LaGuardia Community College, this three-year Teaching American History program (2007-2010) works with K-12 teachers who teach English Language Learner students. At seminars during the school year, teachers learn both new historical material and pedagogical approaches designed for English-Language Learners. Summer institutes provide opportunities to put new knowledge and pedagogy into practice developing materials for their own classrooms.

About

“History is bunk!”

So said Henry Ford in 1916. He was wrong. For most Americans, the past is interesting and important – it’s “History” that is the problem. Too often History is an irrelevant school subject to be endured for a year or two, a bunch of names and dates quickly forgotten.
