Landmarks of American History: Workshops for School Teachers: NEH seeks proposals for a series of one-week residence-based workshops for K-12 educators that use historic sites to address central themes and issues in American history. The goals of the Landmarks of American History teacher workshops are to: provide teachers with training and experience in the use and interpretation of historical sites and the material and archival evidence of American history; increase the knowledge and appreciation of the places significant to American history; and encourage historical sites to develop greater capacity and scale for professional development programs. Workshops should be held at or near sites important to American history, such as presidential residences, Colonial-era settlements, major battlefields, and presidential libraries. Applicants should make a compelling case for the historical significance of the site and the documentary and material evidence available for use by participants. Workshops should be academically rigorous and involve the participation of leading scholars--either as lecturers or seminar leaders--and provide for interactions with master teachers to help participants develop new teaching resources. Participants should demonstrate their expanded knowledge and skills either through the development of lessons plans, classroom resources, or a research paper. Workshops may be hosted by universities, colleges, school systems, learned societies, centers for advanced study, libraries or other repositories, and cultural or professional organizations. Host institutions are expected to provide facilities conducive to scholarly research, discussion, and interaction. Workshops should accommodate a minimum of fifty teachers at each one-week session and be repeated two to four times during the summer. Host institutions are expected to make arrangements for adequate housing for all participants for the duration of the program.
