Students at every grade level in high school have benefited from the innovative, expert instructional practices of social studies leader, Karen Cook. Much of this improvement is the result of Ms. Cook's work over several years with a group of teachers whose specific goal was to improve the skills, knowledge and motivation of students who had struggled in the ninth grade. Students in Ms. Cook's classes see history come alive through her extensive community engagement and historical inquiry. With the enormous impact Ms. Cook has had on students and colleagues, it seems she's making some history of her own.
