The Theme Concept

With a thematic approach to the study of history, topical events, concepts, and ideas in one era build to the next, providing teachers with knowledge that links the past with today and today with the past.  In this way, teachers of grades 5-12 who participate in Consortium events will be able enhance their knowledge of the specific subject matter that they teach as well that of other grade levels. The result is greater continuity across curriculum standards and grade level content expectations.
