2005 Landmarks of American History: Workshops for School Teachers
During the summer of 2005, the National Endowment for the Humanities
(NEH) will continue its new series of professional development programs,
Landmarks of American History Workshops for School Teachers. These
week-long, residence-based programs provide the opportunity for K-12
educators to engage in intensive study and discussion of important
topics in American history at major historical sites around the nation.
Full-time teachers in American K-12 schools, whether public, public
charter, private, or religiously-affiliated are eligible to participate,
as are home-schooling parents. Other K-12 school personnel, including
administrators, substitute teachers, classroom paraprofessionals, and
librarians are also eligible to participate, subject to available space.
Teachers selected to participate will receive a stipend of $500.
Stipends are intended to help cover living expenses, books, and travel
expenses to and from the Workshop location. Travel supplements for those
traveling long distances will be available and will be allocated after
participants are selected.
Landmarks Workshops are designed to give participants direct experiences
in the interpretation of significant historical sites and the use of
archival and other primary historical evidence. They include the best
scholarship on a specific landmark or related cluster of landmarks,
enabling participants to gain a sense of the importance of historical
places, to make connections between what they learn in the Workshop and
what they teach, and to develop teaching materials for their classrooms.
Landmarks Workshops for the summer of 2005 include America's Industrial
Revolution; Montpelier, James Madison and Constitutional Citizenship;
the Cherokee Trail of Tears; Tidewater, Maryland and the American
Struggle for Freedom; Hull-House and the Progressive Era; Mt. Vernon and
the Shaping of the U.S. Constitution; Alabama's Civil Rights Monuments;
the United States Capitol; Henry Ford's Rouge Plant; Salem,
Massachusetts 1801-1861; Clashing Cultures at Arrow Rock, Missouri
1820-1860; Black Artisans and Entrepreneurs of Antebellum North
Carolina; the Illinois and Michigan Canal and 19th Century America;
Spanish St. Augustine; and The Lincoln Home, Society and Politics in
Antebellum America, 1840-1861.
