  2. Webinar Objectives: • Summarize the AHA Tuning Project • Brainstorm the impact on and role of secondary education history • Discuss/Generate list of skills • Create a network around Tuning • Follow up in blog post: cperrier.edublogs.org

  3. Summary of Project • Three Year Grant from the Lumina Foundation • Faculty recruited from 60 universities and colleges http://www.historians.org/projects/tuning/Personnel.htm#faculty • Define what a student should know and be able to do at the completion of a history degree program

  4. AHA Objectives/Reminder: The AHA's initiative to "tune the history major" encompasses three broad objectives: • 1. To articulate the core abilities, habits of mind, and knowledge required of their discipline; • 2. To develop a clear, common language to express the distinctive value of history for students, employers, and public culture. Students who can see clearly what they are learning, and why, are better equipped to direct their studies towards lifelong learning, meaningful employment, and civic participation • 3. To provide a nationwide framework in which historians can design the systems used by their institutions to measure their achievements as teachers. • REMINDER: The project does not aim to standardize curricula in history
