As I continue to develop my Junior Historians curriculum at Harlem Academy, it is important to stop and take stock of what is working, what needs improvement, and what new ideas can be incorporated. This past fall two graduate students at the Klingenstein School at Teachers College, in conjunction with Harlem Academy's Head of School and Development Office, drafted a case study on the work that my junior historians and I do in history class. I am proud of the results and wanted to share them here with you. |
