Resources for Elementary School TeachersFirst things first, are you familiar with the C3? It's a system of inquiry-based instruction to prepare students for college, career, and civic life (three c's). For elementary school teachers, New York State has helped you out! Your traditional social studies curriculum for the year could be completed and inquiry-based using the lesson plans linked in the button below. Check it out! Of course we want it to be representative curriculum, so we have more resources for your to consider and supplement.
*TIP: substitute male-centric documents or images for female-centric ones to make the inquiries more egalitarian. Ask yourself, how many BIPOC or LGBTQ+ folks are represented? Could that be more representative in the documents I provide? |
