What subject areas fit well with the Student Summit program?
We encourage middle school and high school teachers of science, social studies, history, language arts, and journalism/communications and their students to participate in the Student Summit. The week’s activities incorporate all of these disciplines, as students focus on the themes of conservation, geoliteracy, cultural heritage, exploration, stewardship, and storytelling. Students also learn about our nation’s capital by studying the legislative process, U.S. history, and the story of Washington, D.C. itself. Additionally, teachers can customize the program to their own curricular needs by choosing one of three areas of focus: science, social science, or journalism.
