Meet the SAHS Social Studies Department

Our department is very similar to a Local Professional Learning Community (LPLC). We are a collegial group who work together to enhance our curriculum and assessments. The department consists of eight teachers who teach at least two Social Studies subjects. We meet formally and informally to discuss curriculum, best teaching practices, and analyze assessment data. We each have our own individual classrooms but we have a conference room with desks where we meet. Our most recent work has focused on how we can incorporate the Economic MLRs into our written curriculum. I volunteered to work on this wiki as a resource for our department. I have been encouraging the other members of the department to add resources or ideas to this wiki as they find them.

The members of our department are:

Angela Martin Government and United States History

Paula Doughty Government, Sociology, and Psychology

Don Finley United States History and Psychology

Dave Evans United States History and Government

Chad Brackett World History and Geography

James Black World History and Geography

Bill Laney United States History and Geography
