PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Today's educators have the same mandate as those during colonial times: to impart the skills and character necessary for students to become productive and civic-minded members of the community. Many of the challenges remain unchanged as well: poor attendance, lack of supplies, resistant students, and the like.
That being said, the teacher of today can become easily overwhelmed by the challenges of today's educational climate: rapidly changing national/state/district mandates, the breakdown of the family unit, an increase in violence and disrespect, and the ever-increasing demands of a global, technological marketplace all make for some pretty extreme challenges.
Historic Pursuits can help. We specialize in creating personalized, dynamic, interactive curriculum, and we help you tie this material directly into common core standards and district guidelines. We believe in sound theory, but we also want teachers to leave feeling like something practical has been added to their toolbox. Whether you are a neophyte teacher wanting some practical tips or a district administrator looking to improve morale, test scores and best practices, Historic Pursuits would love to sit down and see if we might be of assistance.
