Archaeology and the Common Core: Bay Farm School and UC Berkeley (2015)
Archaeology provides an amazing vehicle for teaching the Common Core and engaging students in lessons across the curricula, while emphasizing teaching for deep understanding of big ideas or broad concepts. Social sciences, history, and science easily find avenues for collaboration, while students use language arts and math skills to analyze and apply data, as well as to write reports. Archaeological inquiry may be used to understand the human past, employing such tools as observation, inference,...

Colorful Collaboration in Colorado: Recent Work by the Project Archaeology Colorado Chapter (2015)
Colorado archaeologists have a long history in promoting Project Archaeology by providing data for curricula, field work opportunities, and training workshops. Nonetheless, for several years the participation was minimal. A revival of Project Archaeology in Colorado began in 2012 with a teacher training workshop in Broomfield, hosted by SWCA Consultants. Since then, the program steadily increased its presence across the state. Through the devoted efforts of its members, the Colorado Chapter...

Enhancing Archaeology Education and Outreach in Iowa through Project Archaeology (2015)
Iowa has been an active partner in Project Archaeology since 2002, joining at a time when the national program was redefining its mission, recreating its curriculum, and expanding its partnerships. This presented the opportunity to assist in determining the scope and direction of national Project Archaeology while remaining cognizant of the challenges Iowa would face as a state where curriculum decisions are locally determined. Thirteen years later, Iowa PA has a stable foothold with dedicated...

National Network: the Strength of Project Archaeology (2015)
We estimate that 275,000 students each year learn about archaeology and protecting the human past through Project Archaeology’s high-quality educational materials. In 2009, I was lucky to attend a Project Archaeology workshop at the Little Bighorn Battlefield, living in a tipi for a week and studying how to engage my students in discovering the culture and history of the Crow tribe. The workshop was taught by a passionate, knowledgeable archaeology educator and I was hooked! The next year, I...
Not Just Fun and Games: Hacking Archaeology Education (2016)
21st-century communication technologies bridge previously unimaginable spatial, cultural, and ideological gaps, without providing young learners with the rational and emotional tools they need to participate in a global society. With its multicultural perspective on the human condition across time and space, historical archaeology is uniquely equipped to fill this void. But the current state of public education ensures that today’s youth are unlikely to get that opportunity, unless we bring it...
