professors.
8 district partners; 47 upper elementary
teachers; 8 teacher leaders.
Three-year cohort (kept 44 for 3 years)
3 Saturdays within year; two-week institute
each summer including a field trip.
4. • Drs. Margaret Purser and
Michelle Jolly wove
together the fabric of our
history using three
overarching themes.
• Through lecture and
hands-on activities, with
rich content, teachers
made the connections
that bring history to life
for students.
• All content was driven by
the HSS Standards
5. Year one - “ethnogenesis” -
first contact and exploration.
Year two - “palimpsest” –
colonial communities.
Year three - “heritage” -
revolution and constitution
6. o Ethnogenesis describes
the process that occurs
when two or more
cultures come together.
o In TAH, teachers used
this term to analyze the
continued process of
combining cultures,
starting with “first
contact” between
Europeans and Native
Americans.
o The two-week institute
culminated in various,
teacher selected field
trips (i.e., Fort Ross,
Angel Island, and San
Francisco Maritime
Museum)

9. Palimpsest is a parchment (or
the like) from which writing has
been partially or completely
erased to make room for
another text.
Teachers used this term to
think about the layers of
history that have not been
entirely erased, but are just
below the surface.
The two-week institute
culminated in a trip to
Monterey, where palimpsest is
evident at every turn; early
Native Americans, Spanish
missions, Mexican and
American influences abound
through architecture, culture,
and environment.

15. Heritage is the stories
we tell today about
events that occurred
in the past.
Teachers used this
term to examine
familiar and
unfamiliar American
stories.
This institute
culminated in a field
trip to Philadelphia,
Plimoth Plantation,
and Boston.

18. Themes helped to structure the year and
cover all the HSS content standards.
Focus on rich history content allowed
teachers to use district purchased
curriculum and “bump it up a notch.”
Understanding the “big picture” made it
easier to help kids make connections.
Deeper knowledge of history created
teacher “history geeks” and infectious
learning for kids!
20. Consider content goals for each
session;
Careful selection of strategies to use;
Each presentation was designed with
the (content) standard first;
How to use and model the appropriate
pedagogical strategy;
And then, how to scaffold the lesson
further.

32. Students will select one historical landmark or town from their state, then
identify the themes, society, culture, environment, economics, within that
location. Students will focus on how the location has changed, stayed the
same, and been used by the different people who have been there.
