Digital resource booklet – The Maya: What every teacher should know
This 60-page resource includes everything teachers and home educators need to know when teaching the Maya at any level.
Dr Diane places the Maya in their geographic and cultural setting through their span of history, focusing on cities and architecture, agriculture, trade, religion, and Maya people today. Special attention is given to their writing, numerical system and calendars, with examples that educators can use in their teaching. Dr Diane also explains what archaeologists and historians have discovered about the Maya, thus building teacher knowledge and expertise, as well as showing why this topic is so interesting to teach. Current debates within Maya archaeology will provide inspiration for lessons that ask pupils to make and support evidential argument.
