In this dynamic workshop, educators will explore how to merge historical inquiry with literacy instruction to create an integrated learning experience. Learn how to align Social Studies and English Language Arts and Reading (ELAR) skills to foster critical thinking, increase student engagement, and deepen understanding. This session provides research-based instructional strategies (RBIS) that bridge the two subjects, empowering students to make meaningful connections between historical content and literacy skills. Join us for practical tools and insights into cross-curricular planning that will enhance your teaching and inspire long-lasting student connections.
