Teacher-Developed
Activities and As educators become more connected to resources through the Internet, the Humanities Center has committed itself to offering online materials to enhance the teaching of humanities topics. "Teacher-Developed Activities" - the "T-DA!" from seminars - will be included in these online materials. Submitting a T-DA! is the required assignment for any seminar participant seeking graduate credit for a seminar; however, all teacher participants are invited to translate what they've learned through these seminars into activities for others to use. The Humanities Center's teacher-developed activities wiil generate supplemental activities that enhance or enrich a unit already in place in a classroom. Many past seminar attendees have reported that they prefer activities they can embed in their own lessons rather than try to import someone else's entire lesson or unit. Although units and lessons are important resources for teachers, many districts have locally developed curriculum and assessments that support the placement of State Standards. These teacher-developed activities allow flexibility for valuable seminar materials to be used no matter where a school or district has placed standards in the curriculum. FOR
