Welcome!

Dear Students and Parents,

 

            Welcome to Big History!!!!!!  We are about to begin a two-year course of Global Studies that will culminate in a New York State Regents Examination at the end of tenth grade. 

            All too often, students learn facts and skills but don't have the chance to connect them all.  Big history links different areas of knowledge into one unified story. It’s a framework for learning about anything and everything. This unified story provides students with a deeper awareness of our past, hopefully better preparing them to help shape the future of our fragile planet.  By giving students tools to incite exploration and connect knowledge, our aim is to help young people develop key critical thinking skills that can prove vital in any discipline they decide to follow in their academic/professional lives. 

Big history is a true history course. It weaves concepts and themes from chemistry, physics and biology, to help students understand a historical narrative and ultimately human civilizations past, present and future.  Big history covers 13.7 billion years of shared history, from before the Big Bang to modernity. Big History explores common themes and patterns spanning vast time scales, helping us better understand people, civilizations and the world we live in.

Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have.  Thank you and I look forward to a wonderful and successful year!
