TAH 3 Mendocino is a collaborative effort among the Mendocino
County Office of Education, Sonoma State University, and school districts within Mendocino, Lake, and Northern
Sonoma Counties (Cloverdale, Windsor, Healdsburg, and Geyserville). The Mendocino and Lake County Historical Associations
and the Grace Hudson Museum are also part of this collaboration.
The project goals are to provide training and opportunities
for project participants to acquire understanding and expertise in effectively developing standards-based American
History lessons.
Other project goals include:
1) Increase traditional American History content knowledge
2) Improve the quality of curriculum and instruction of traditional
American History as a separate academic subject
3) Improve student knowledge and understanding of American History
There will be a strong regional focus to encourage teachers
to become familiar with local resources and to work closely with historical associations and museums in identifying
resources that illustrate local participation in the larger national historic movements.
The project includes a two-week summer institute during each year, institute follow-up days each year, and field
experiences. Year One (2007), will include a trip to the National Archives (NARA) in San Bruno; Year Two (2008)
will include a day trip to Fort Ross in Sonoma County and a field trip to Angel Island State Park; and in Year
Three (2009), a trip to Washington, D.C.
