1. ESEA Reauthorization Possibilities
The reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act is moving along,
and there may be opportunities for Social Studies teachers in the final resulting federal
legislation. While nothing is certain, the U.S. Senate version of the bill does provide some
funding to support teachers and students in the areas of civics, U.S. history, geography, and
economics. Other legislation will make it possible to use parent engagement dollars to support
financial literacy instruction. If the Senate version of the reauthorization prevails, funding will go
to Local Education Agencies (LEAs) that partner with higher education institutions, museums, or
other entities, a structure much like the Teaching American History grants from a few years ago.
There is also the possibility of funding for “Presidential Academies,” institutes for teachers to get
two weeks of professional development, and for “Congressional Academies,” institutes for
students to get two weeks of study. Be watching for how the negotiations go to maintain the
funding provisions in the Senate version of the reauthorization during the conference process.
2. Oregon Digital Newspaper Program Now Offers Lesson Plans for K-12
The Oregon Digital Newspaper Program (ODNP) now offers lesson plans that align with Oregon
Common Core State Standards for use in K – 12 classrooms. University of Oregon’s UOTeach Master’s
Program graduate Erin Choi incorporated primary source content from newspapers found in the ODNP’s
Historic Oregon Newspapers online and the Library of Congress’ Chronicling America website, and
aligned the new lesson plans with Common Core standards for English Language Arts (ELA) and Social
Sciences.
The lesson plans target Grade 4 ELA standards and Grade 4 Social Sciences standards for
Oregon History topics, and Grades 6-8 ELA standards and Grades 6-8 Social Sciences standards for
American History. However, K-12 educators can adapt all of the lesson plans to any grade level, utilize
the plans as they come, or insert relevant articles and activity ideas into their existing lessons.
Check out the K-12 Resources page for links to applicable Oregon Common Core State
Standards and ODNP lesson plans, as well as additional resources. To learn more about the ODNP, visit
ODNP.uoregon.edu.
The ODNP has been digitizing historic Oregon newspapers since 2009, making them keyword
searchable and freely available to the public online at http://oregonnews.uoregon.edu. They have
digitized over 700,000 pages so far, all of which are excellent primary source materials that can be used
to bolster almost any K-12 lesson, perfect for meeting literacy standards in the classroom.
3. New Coos History Museum is Now Open!

National History Day announces an exciting partnership with the Roy Rosenzweig Center for

partnership will allow 18 middle and high school teachers across disciplines to study the experiences of
America’s World War II soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and Coastguardsmen as they advanced across
North Africa and Southern Europe. The program will allow teachers to study this phase of World War II,
engage in scholarly readings and discussions with experts and peers, and develop multimedia, multidisciplinary lesson plans to help teachers and students around the world understand the service and
sacrifice of America’s armed forces.
In July 2016, teachers will follow the path of the armed forces in Italy and Southern France. While

Teachers will visit five ABMC cemeteries to honor individuals from their home states who sacrificed their
lives in the war.
Established by Congress in 1923, the ABMC commemorates the service, achievements, and
sacrifice of U.S. armed forces. ABMC administers 25 overseas military cemeteries, and 26 memorials,
monuments, and markers. For more information visit www.abmc.gov or connect with the ABMC on
Facebook, YouTube or Instagram.
