If you are a Middle School Social Studies Educator and are not involved in the GIANTS professional development series, then you are missing out!

“Because of the recent updates to the Michigan Grade Level Content Expectations, the focus on world geography at the 6th grade level and ancient world history at the 7th grade level is a monumental shift with regard to scope and sequence in some districts. Combined with more rigorous demands in temporal and spatial thinking, the curriculum and accompanying professional development network are the best tools to assist 6th and 7th grade Social Studies teachers.”
