This blog is for the use of those participating in the Larry H. Miller & Zions Bank Lewis & Clark Educational Seminar. The objective of the Lewis & Clark seminar is to merge on site content provided by Dr. Jay Buckley, author of William Clark: Indian Diplomat, and co-author of By His Own Hand: The Mysterious Death of Meriwether Lewis and pedagogy and practices presented by Cindy Ness, Professor of History and History Education at Brigham Young University. In addition it is our sincere hope that each of you will serve as a resource providing insights and ideas that will enrich the experience for all those who participate in the Lewis & Clark seminars.
As a grant recipient you will be expected to participate actively in all three stages of the seminar, i.e. the pre-travel seminar, the travel seminar, & the post-travel seminar.
Before the travel seminar you are expected to practice with your students at least one of the "Marzano" strategies presented in the pre-travel seminar. On completion of your practice lesson, please utilize the blog to present your ideas, reflect and evaluate the procedures. Within the open forum of the seminar blog, it is our hope that each of us will be able to share suggestions and experiences that can improve our collective teaching.
Lastly the blog will serve as an open forum to dialogue the content texts that are required for participation in the Lewis and Clark travel seminar i.e. Gary E Moulton, An American Epic of Discovery, Stephen E. Ambrose: Undaunted Courage, and our very own Dr. Buckley's, By His Own Hand?: The Mysterious Death of Meriwether Lewis. PLEASE POST YOUR IDEAS, RESPONSES, AND/OR INSIGHTS WITHIN THE APPROPRIATE THREAD.
We look forward to reading your ideas and insights.
Professor Jay Buckley
Professor Cindy Ness
