Summary
Social Studies reported three dual-credit courses and four AP offerings; presenter Dan Reem highlighted community projects and flagged an upcoming retirement and curriculum squeeze driven by added history content and variable feeder-school preparation.
Dan Reem, presenter for the Social Studies Department at Washington Community High School, reported that the department currently offers three dual-credit courses and four AP courses and highlighted recent projects including Mayor for the Day, election-volunteer activities and a Renaissance Faire.
Reem identified several department challenges: an upcoming retirement, pressure from expanding history topics relative to instructional time, and inconsistent preparation from feeder schools.
