Our Approach: Focus on the Teacher and the Learner

Dear Teachers,

 

We cannot offer you an all-inclusive resort package yet, but we can offer an all-inclusive and user-friendly interactive EdTech platform.

 

History Owls aims to improve student learning and engagement, support teachers to further enrich curricula, and bridge the gap between high school and college education with a technology-driven approach, backed by Mind, Brain, Health, and Education Science. Putting my Bruin pride aside, I encourage you to explore the incredibly rich USC Center for Affective Neuroscience, Development, Learning and Education CANDLE resource, founded by Mary Helen Immordino-Yang, EdD.

 

Textbooks have outlived their expiration date. Anecdotally, my Gen Z students used the McDougal Littell’s The Americans, the same textbook I brought to Mrs. Lee’s class every day during the 2000-2001 school year.

 

Born into a post-dial up world that no longer announces “You’ve Got Mail”, students of this generation and beyond can no longer only engage with print materials from a two-dimensional perspective. Additionally, 88% (79 teachers) expressed they often or constantly use technology in the classroom when surveyed by History Owls last year.

 

Every course includes a “one-stop shop” for expert-curated, US high school history content designed by us to simplify, complement, and supplement existing teaching methods. Features include suggested lesson plans, primary and secondary sources, high-quality videos, images, and original content in the form of mini-lectures from our leading university history professors. All of our content is vetted by a dedicated team of advisors spanning from a variety of high school teachers to promote accessible and equitable learning, and to ensure content is appropriately challenging to provide students an opportunity to prepare for the rigor of future undergraduate studies.
