The Center on Learning, Assessment, and School Structure (CLASS) wants your innovative units of study in history for grades 7–12. CLASS is soliciting imaginative units "where students are doing history as they address vital topics, questions, and texts" as entries in the 1994 Geraldine R. Dodge Curriculum Design Award in History.
Any secondary (7–12) history teacher or team of teachers (including teachers from other disciplines) may enter, if they can provide evidence that their unit design is engaging, at the heart of the discipline of history, and effective with a diverse student population. Up to three designers will receive $1,000 each, have their work disseminated nationally in the CLASS Anthology of Exemplary Curriculum Design, and be given opportunities to conduct demonstrations for CLASS. Five to 10 additional winners will have their work documented in the Anthology. Each winner will receive a copy of the Anthology.
Applications are due by April 1, 1994. Winners will be announced on July 1, 1994. For more information, or to obtain an application, write Dodge History Award, CLASS, 39 Main St., Geneseo, NY 14454; or call (716) 243-5500.
