Teachers from Cabell County and several neighboring counties are learning new teaching techniques to help make learning about history more fun. The event began on Monday and continues through Tuesday, June 19.
"The Past and Present Project" is designed to enable teachers to access and apply primary sources from the Library of Congress as well as local and state archives, according to a news release from the Cabell County school system. The goal is to make their lessons locally relevant and engaging for students. The project also serves as preparation for the new curriculum and teaching standards that will be implemented statewide July 1.
"The teachers are learning to use primary sources in an interactive and engaging way rather than from dry old textbooks," said Lenora Richardson, Curriculum Supervisor for Cabell County Schools. "This professional development helps teachers to create more engaging lessons where students incorporate historic elements utilizing primary sources."
In addition to the Cabell County participants, guest teachers from Lincoln, Mingo, Mason and Wayne counties are also participating.
