It’s Like You’re a Detective: Engagement and Literacy Strategies with The DBQ Project

Albuquerque, NM: February 11, 2023

Do you need new strategies and materials to help you address the new inquiry standards in the New Mexico State Social Studies Standards? Are you looking for ways to build engagement in your classes after students were home and online for so long the past couple of years? Teachers will leave this hands-on, half-day workshop with engagement strategies that keep students’ attention and build their reading and writing skills. Help students see evidence-based thinking and writing as an investigation. Participants will receive a sample DBQ Project lesson and concrete, you-can-use-them-tomorrow, ideas for teaching reading and writing in social studies. This special invitational workshop is open to secondary social studies teachers. Participants will be treated to a catered lunch and a special docent-led tour of the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center. Certificates of participation will be provided for completion of five hours of professional learning.
