Overall Research Project Description This UROP research position will contribute to the grant-funded project: Teaching Tallahassee, which kicks off in July 2023. In this project, the research team will work with 12 art, history, and civics teachers from across Leon County, to research and explore the rich history of the area. During the project, the research team will work with the teachers on designing and drafting individual curriculum projects that use the history of Tallahassee to encourage K-12 students to think and make about their community history. This project draws on place-based education and positions learning inside of local communities, cultures, experiences, and people. This model uses local places as a point of entry for students to learn about a range of subjects, for this project we posit that civic education happens through history, civics, and art. A main objective of this project is to: Foster the collaborations of art, history, and civics educators and faculty, to develop an effective and evidence-based curriculum focused on civic engagement and participation in Leon County K-12 school students. Research findings from previous studies (Shields et al., 2020; Fendler et al., 2020; Fendler & Shields, 2018) have been used to inform this action research project. This project is focused on collaborating with K-12 teachers to develop new, interdisciplinary curriculum, in order to provide practical, user-friendly, and up to date resources for K-12 art and civics teachers to teach towards civic engagement and participation.
