Introduction for Teacher Edition
|
|
Teachers for this generation of students, have a more challenging task than ever before. Students need a solid foundation of content and skills in order to thrive in our rapidly changing culture. And somehow, beyond teaching the basics, they also want to instill in their students a strong sense of character. But teachers lack the time and the resources to teach such lessons as good citizenship, leadership, and integrity.
Drive Thru History America: Foundations of Character is designed to address each of these areas. This curriculum provides thorough historical content about the individuals and events surrounding the founding of the United States. The text, objectives, and activities are aligned with the National Council for the Social Studies standards. Integrated throughout the content, you will find values-based lessons and applications from the lives of our Founding Fathers and Mothers.
This curriculum will help young Americans understand the important contributions made by the men and women who led our nation during the Revolutionary era, as well as the character of faith of these individuals. Within these units, you will find a rich variety of primary sources that show the connection between the beliefs and actions of the Founders.
The men and women portrayed in this curriculum are worthy models for students today. As a result of studying the worldviews and actions of our Founders, students will obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the history of our nation and the world. When they apply these lessons to their own lives, they will be better prepared to live lives of integrity and to fulfill their responsibilities as American citizens. As students follow the examples of these men and women, they will come to realize, as their Founding Fathers and Mothers did, that they, too, can make a difference.
