Key focus areas include the importance of ongoing review, the development of content-specific vocabulary, and the use of various tools such as maps and charts. Emphasis will be placed on hands-on engagement to enhance interest and retention. Teachers will learn to guide students in "doing history," utilizing assessments as learning tools, and investigating SOL review strategies in an interactive station format.
