| The Connecticut
Technical High School System is collaborating with several other
Local School Districts in a project to improve students learning
in United States History. The "History is Central" project
based at Central Connecticut State University, aims to increase
the effectiveness of History instruction by connecting participating
middle and high school teachers to the best in history scholarship,
to local historical resources, and to an ongoing network of colleagues.
The project's chief goals are to increase teachers' knowledge of
U.S. history content, their historical thinking skills, and their
connections to historical resources throughout the state, in order
to help them incorporate primary sources and historical thinking
skills into the classroom, improving student learning and performance.
Other school districts that will be participating in the project
are Ansonia, Berlin, Cromwell, Newington, Rocky Hill, and Wethersfield.
