Global Humanities

I wish it was just two grade levels below. I can do 5 levels of readings. It’s the kids who are in double period reading intervention and only at a 2nd grade level that present a problem.

Pyle, Hoover, and SSIMS, to name a few.

Not true. My DC is at Pyle and not everyone is in HIGH.

It appears to be the only option for next year's 6th graders:

Thanks. Slide number 25 shows there is Global humanities and world studies. However, unlike math placement, they don’t mention the criteria for global vs world studies.

Talk to middle school counselor and, if necessary, school admin. If they have spaces they should consider a move. In 6th grade at our MS, they moved a bunch of kids into HIGH after 1st Quarter.

Why is it to difficult? I promise you reliable and worthwhile in class differentiation doesn’t happen.

Our school doesn’t have a problem scheduling 2 levels. -DP

This cannot be true. My middle school managed to schedule advanced classes before computers existed, and high schools manage to pull it off with many more variables in the mix.

Same but it happened after first quarter.

Which middle school?

I’m the PP who said it was “too challenging”. Let me rephrase: it’s more challenging, so admin is incentivized to make all classes the same. It’s certainly doable.

No, it doesn’t. It says, “ALL 6th grader students are enrolled in Historical Inquiry into Global Humanities/World Studies” — meaning they are the same class.

Or it means all 6th graders are enrolled in either Global Humanities or World studies? I reached out to the middle school (Pyle) and they informed me that they will get information from the central office for the placement in Global Humanities. So no, they are not all enrolled in Global.

My DC at Pyle tells me there not much difference in Global and World Studies. They get the exact same worksheets, the kids in Global have to write 4 sources instead of 3, etc. It’s just a label to appease the parents that enrichment is happening.

It's the same curriculum, but the "enriched" class (which is really not that challenging) has a project and 2 novel studies built in, so they move faster through the base materials to add these in.

As someone who went to the parent night where those slides were presented, I can confirm that all students will be in the same class. Someone asked the question, and the department had answered it. Teachers are supposed to.” Differentiate” for the kids who qualified for the enriched program. You can email the head of the department to confirm. His name is on the slide.

Perhaps they will have certain Global classes with kids who qualified for enrichment and the rest will be in Global without enrichment?
