Teaching American History Partners
- TAHPDX: GREAT DECISIONS IN U.S. HISTORY
This Teaching American History project represents a partnership between a consortium of school districts in Washington County, Oregon, including the Beaverton, Hillsboro and Forest Grove districts, and Portland State University. This project directly addresses challenges in the teaching and learning of U.S. history in a state in which history falls under the umbrella of social studies by focusing intensely on the core values of historical scholarship and the tools of historical inquiry.
- Lane Education Service District: Legacies Project
Legacies is a project funded by a Teaching American History grant awarded to the Lane Education Service District by the United States Department of Education. The Legacies project builds on the successes of previous grants. Knowledge of American history is emphasized along with ways to engage students, including historical inquiry and the use of local history as a “window” to learning American history.
