Project
overview
The
New
Mexico
State
Legislature
appropriated
$100,000
in
2003
for
the
Public
Education
Department
to
develop
a
framework
of
resources
to
support
teaching
New
Mexico
History
to
elementary
and
secondary
students.
The
Department
named
Dr.
Craig
Newbill,
Executive
Director
of
the
New
Mexico
Humanities
Council,
and
Dr.
Estevan
Rael-Gálvez,
State
Historian,
as
project
facilitators.
These
facilitators
identified
collaborators
and
assembled
a
task
force
from
across
the
state
to
assist
the
Department
with
this
project.
The
project
surveyed
teachers
from
around
New
Mexico
to
identify
current
resources
mapped
to
New
Mexico
history
standards
and
evaluated
gaps
in
resources.
As
a
result,
teachers
were
invited
to
enter
lessons
into
My
Standards,
an
online
tool
to
plan
and
map
instructional
strategies
based
on
NM
Standards.
My
Standards
The
New
Mexico
History
Resource
Framework
is
included
in
the
New
Mexico
Public
Education
Department’s
My
Standards.
