$189 ~ 23 min. ~ Leader's Guide
Students can help direct their own learning and this video shows how. Part one is for students grades 4-8. It introduces this exciting approach; kids researching the answers to their own questions about their local community. Part two is for teachers. It explains why this approach motivates students and how it clearly meets curriculum goals and district and state learning standards.
This video complements the award-winning curriculum guide, “Living Traditions: Teaching Local History Aligned to District, State and National Learning Standards”, which is available for an additional $19.95.
"Both the video and teacher's guide would be useful for in-service or curriculum planning programs." – School Library Journal
