This past April, Dr. Mary Huffman invited our own John Dunning and Patrick Cash, along with East Carolina University maritime archaeology PhD student Madeline Roth, and Trevor Freeman from the USS NORTH CAROLINA Battleship to show future Pirate teachers from the ECU College of Education ways to bring history alive for their students.
ECU students toured the ship, participated in a scavenger hunt and learned from each of the experts about specific ways to approach teaching history.
And the partnership continues.
โWe are doing this again on Sept 19 with Pitt County Schools social studies and science teachers!โ Dunning said.
