Based on the positive feedback our Social Studies department received from the year 1 pilot of InquirEd’s Inquiry Journeys curriculum, we are excited to conduct an expanded year-long pilot of the curriculum, which will be available in English, Spanish, and Cantonese (slide decks only).  Please fill out this application form by May 24th and we will notify teachers by June 5th.

Pilot Teacher Benefits (minimal time commitment, a few extended hours included):

This is an exciting opportunity to have year-long access to pilot History-Social Studies core curricular materials. Pilot teachers will receive materials (including student-facing handouts) and buy-back day training on implementing the curriculum before field testing, and be encouraged to give feedback via 2 surveys about eventual district-wide implementation. We hope this will support Tier 1 history-social studies instruction in San Francisco for years.

Year-Long Pilot Study Goals:

1. Provide early access to proposed adoption materials.

2. Identify the aspects of the curriculum with the most room for improvement (identify necessary substitutions, and why they were necessary)

3. Use teacher feedback to identify local history connections.

Please reach out to Nikhil Laud (LaudN@sfusd.edu) if you have any questions.
