Immersion is a unique approach to learning that blends traditional lecture-based teaching with immersive, hands-on experiences both in the classroom and outdoors. By combining interactive activities with traditional teaching methods, students are actively engaged in uncovering the narrative of history. Immersion teaches all Oklahoma ELA and Social Studies standards, including English, Oklahoma History, Government, Geography, US History, Economics, Public Speaking and more. This is achieved through various projects, simulations, and exploring texts in their respective historical settings. The program employs a variety of teaching methods to bring history to life, such as storytelling sessions, role-playing activities, and project-based learning tasks. Student performance is assessed through a range of methods designed to measure their understanding of critical thinking skills and communication, including research projects, oral presentations, class discussions, and overall providing a dynamic and immersing learning experience.
