Curricular Planning

Learning can be much like Odysseus' journey to Ithaka as described by Cavafy in his 1992 prose, Ithaka, full of spectacular adventures, enchantment, and the odd monster or two. Social studies, in particular, offers opportunities for adventures and discoveries, especially when thoughtful planning has been done. In fact, curricular planning can be compared to storing supplies and setting a course to sail through unfamiliar seas; it can reap great rewards for those on the journey. Two of the most important elements are the basic social studies concepts and universal themes that provide a structure for in depth learning. By systematically developing and connecting these components into an integrated structure, the teacher can develop an array of learning experiences that address varied interests, abilities, and levels of challenge of gifted students.
