National History Day, a year-long academic program for 6th-12th graders, incorporates many NAGC curriculum and instruction standards. Students are guided to pursue authentic independent investigations, as well as apply critical thinking, research skills, analysis, and evaluation. This enables them to become writers, filmmakers, web designers, playwrights, and artists exploring unique contemporary expressions of history. The research base, resources, and tools to employ this PBL strategy are shared.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will be able to describe the connection between the National History Day curriculum and NAGC Programming Standard 3: Curriculum Planning and Instruction.
Participants will be able to instruct students using best practices in gifted education while engaging them as motivated and independent thinkers, researchers, and learners.
Participants will be able to present curriculum and teaching strategies that require students to seek out diverse voices and perspectives.
