DAVID M HALL ASSOCIATES, LLC Professional Training & Consulting
Teaching American History Grants
We believe that a sophisticated understanding of American history is critical
to developing an active and engaged citizenry. We understand that
educators face a wide array of demands, making it increasingly difficult to
dedicate significant time to further studying their subject matter.
Additionally, a number of educators are assigned to teach American history
though they did not major in American history in their undergraduate or
graduate studies.
As a result, this program works with schools in obtaining the Teaching
American History grant to foster increased content knowledge for those
who teach American history.
Our professors provide illuminating lectures and discourse related to
content matter that educators can use in class. Our master teachers work
with educators to utilize Marzano high-yield strategies to ensure that this
content is delivered in a way which maximizes student attainment.
We partner with organizations that can provide additional resources related
to this grant. We work with the collaborating schools and agencies to
ensure that this grant meets the needs and objectives of the local school
district.

“As an eighth grade social studies teacher I have taken three courses, nine
graduate credits, through David M Hall Associates. These classes
provided contemporary ideas for educators, hands-on activities that work
well with any grade level and an extensive list of resources and contacts
that are an asset in creating interesting lessons. I would recommend this
program to anyone who teaches social studies.”

“Prior to taking David Hall’s courses, I had little interest in civics and never
really considered actively incorporating it into my second grade lesson
plans. I am very pleased and proud to say that because of Dr. Hall, my
attitude about civics has completely changed. Since taking several of his
courses, I have developed and implemented several very successful and
enjoyable lessons into my classroom regarding government, elections,
and citizenship. Thanks to David Hall and his remarkable courses, my goal
is to create not only outstanding readers, writers, and mathematicians but
outstanding citizens, too.”
