This list was originally part of a project developed during the summer of 1997. The project was created by Dean Moore at the Hamilton County Educational Resource Center and funded by the AT&T Goldstar Program. Citizenship Proficiency Test Guides for parents to use at the 4th, 6th, 9th, and 12th Grade Level were developed. They all had extensive web site and public library resources. Feel free to contact me at sams_t@hcca.ohio.gov or Dean Moore at moore_d@hcca.ohio.gov for more information concerning the project.


Try out the HJSWeb developed by Todd Sams. It has pages of excellent links for all subject areas. The Social Studies page is modified weekly as my classes progress through U.S. and World History.
