Course Code: SI-7
Part 1 – August 17, 2021; Part 2 – August 18, 2021
Description:
In this two-part OTF Summer Institute, participants will explore strategies to engage students in meaningful inquiry and critical thinking during current times. Reflecting on a pivoting year, there are a number of tools and strategies that have enhanced our teaching practices. Ideas to streamline content (big ideas), incorporate skill development (historical thinking skills, social science research skills) and collaborative strategies and tools to enhance student voice (e.g. master slides, jamboards, thinking scaffolds) will be explored. Time will be allocated during the Institute for participants to apply these strategies and share best practices with colleagues to co-create practical material for History and the Social Sciences classrooms in September. This Summer Institute is facilitated by members of the Ontario History and Social Science Teachers’ Association (OHASSTA), a subject/division association in Ontario.
Presenters: Sarah Murdoch & Elizabeth Freeman-Shaw
