Helping Students “Get” History

Many of my students have told me that Social Studies or History is their worst subject. When I ask why, they say they “just don’t get it”. I usually find out that they have a hard time connecting the dots. For example, they learn about the American Revolution but don’t understand how it connects to King George III and the Declaration of Independence. This article gives parents, tutors, and teachers some hints and tips for helping students connect the people, places, and events of history to improve their comprehension.

A Student Made my Day

Alex made my day today. He passed the Global History and Geography Regents Exam!! Let me tell you a little bit about Alex. When I first met him, he came to tutoring two hours late.

She was also very creative in her approach and the children were drawn to her. I was very fortunate to have her ... in both programs I have supervised. The students and their parents respected her and learned a lot under her leadership.

I would highly recommend Rosemary ... She is a team player who sets high standards for...

Applied Arts

Happy Friday everyone! I wanted to give a quick shout to everyone on Applied Arts. I am certified on WyzAnt as an Art History tutor. But, I also do Applied Arts. Applied Arts focuses on the "doing" of the art versus the "by-the-book" method of Art History. In Applied Arts students hone in on their ability to create! They are taught different techniques (which ties closely to Art History), the process of design, choosing and handling different mediums, etc. It is all around a more hands on approach to learning art. As the instructor I find that, grade school students are in an Applied...
