This is a real accomplishment for the UNIT!
I agree 100% that "This is one of the many benefits of
our CoLA/CEHS collaborative partnership. Our quarterly
forums and TEC meetings provide opportunities for
continual improvement of the program besides regular
communications with the day to day operations."
The CEHS/CoLA collaborative is absolutely essential to
this success!
Dr. Carol Engelhard has been vital in ensuring that
History and Social Science Content is rigorous and
aligned with the ten NCSS Standards.
Together we provide a superior program.
Yes, it is especially rare for IHEs to receive National
Recognition from NCSS.
Congratulations are due to the many WSU professionals
who contributed in many, many ways.
Thanks
Ron
Great News!
We've just received official notification from NCATE
that our
Integrated Social Studies program has successfully
passed the
National Council of Social Studies (NCSS) SPA report
review and
received National Recognition!
Please share this news with faculty who teach and have
assisted
with
the development, implementation, and assessment
process of the AYA Integrated Social Studies program.
This is one of the many benefits of our CoLA/CEHS
collaborative partnership.
Our quarterly forums and
TEC meetings provide opportunities for continual
improvement
of
the
program
besides
regular
communications with the day to day operations.
Special thanks to Dr. Ron Helms, for his knowledge,
skills, and
expertise as our NCSS SPA author and national NCSS
reviewer. His
dedication and
extensive time it took
writing the
report, while
assisting others (locally and nationally) understand
NCSS
requirements,
plus teach and coordinate the AYA
program, is
juggling
in its finest form :-) I know the hours and
numerous
revisions
taken
to
yield
national
recognition, which is especially rare for IHEs to
receive from NCSS.
Your time and efforts are greatly
appreciated!
Donna
