Participants in this program will learn to integrate field research activities into their classroom curricula using the Schoodic Education Adventure program. The two-day institute investigates opportunities to collect field data, apply it to classroom lessons across the curricula, and connect it to real world applications in America's national parks.

Participants will create schoolyard investigation kits to take back to their classrooms; be introduced to outdoor, field-based activities that can be reproduced in a number of settings; learn classroom-based activities relating to science, social studies, technology, math, language arts, small group communication, public speaking, art, health, and citizenship; use GPS units and computers to create digital maps of study sites; qualify for student scholarships and transportation assistance to take your students to the Schoodic Education Adventure program.

Workshop activities highlight studying forest community structure, marine biodiversity, geology, soil development, and New England history.

This workshop also includes registration to attend the October 24th Arizona Council for the Social Studies Annual Fall Conference. Participants will also receive a curriculum kit to be shared within their district and an honorarium to assist with travel and food. Social studies or science curriculum coordinators and teachers in grades 6–12 interested in the cultural history of Arizona or the archaeological process, should consider attending this one-day People, Place, and Time training.

People, Place, and Time (PP&T) is an interdisciplinary curriculum for grades 6–12. The activities and lessons are inquiry-based, focusing on social studies, science, and language arts. The curriculum and accompanying materials are presented in a kit format and include the teacher's guide, two interactive "game boards," a video, and basic research sources. All of the activities have been aligned to the Arizona Department of Education Standards for the applicable subject areas. The curriculum contains two units of study—the Cultural Landscape and Cultural Resources Management (CRM) Archaeology. The time required to implement this unit will vary, depending on the classroom structure and depth of student research. The entire curriculum can be covered in one to two 9-week terms.

Unit 1 is the Cultural Landscape. In this unit, students explore the environmental niches of the Sonoran Desert, from the cactus-covered lowlands to the conifer-crested mountains, without ever leaving the classroom. They discover resources and experiment with the development of products from those resources. They envision life as the Hohokam peoples lived it 1,000 years ago—traveling, trading, and manufacturing the tools and foods necessary for survivalᾹin this harsh but bountiful environment. The Cultural Landscape unit may be taught as a standalone unit.

The second unit, CRM Archaeology, introduces students to the discovery of a past culture through scientific investigation. Students play the role of the entrepreneurs and archaeologists who create an archaeological consulting business, bid on a contract to do an archaeological study, and investigate a site. They use statistics to analyze the findings, synthesize the results, draw conclusions, and present their findings about the past. Students must complete the activities in the Cultural Landscape unit prior to beginning the CRM unit.

PP&T kits are distributed through regional training workshops and summer institutes. It is hoped that the remaining kits will be distributed during the ACSS workshops. One to two representatives from each district are encouraged to participate in this training. Training is open to all sixth through 12th grade teachers, but only one participant per district will become the "Keeper of the Kit." Keepers will make the kit available to educators within their district and make sure that the kit contents are intact.

The one-day workshop will include background information on the history of the project, an introduction to archaeology and to the cultural history of Arizona, hands-on experimentation with activities, and the development of a plan for use and distribution of the materials in each school district.

"Discover what archeology is and how we learn from what others have left behind. Participants will become archaeologists as they participate in the Archaeology: History Found in Pieces program, visit Franklin Court and hear how archaeology was used to learn about Franklin and how it plays an important role in how we interpret Franklin today. Educators will learn about teaching with primary source documents and objects, discover how archaeologists and curators use these clues to piece together history, and have the opportunity to explore Independence Park Institute’s newly opened hands-on student learning labs."

"This seminar gives special emphasis to selected Jefferson manuscripts, offering participants an intensive exploration of primary sources—the building blocks of historical study. Monticello itself is the site of several study tours. Lecture and discussion topics include Jefferson and the West; archaeology at Monticello; African Americans at Monticello; the architecture of Monticello; Jefferson’s empire; the Louisiana Purchase; and Jefferson and the Constitution."
