***************** Civil War Preservation Trust * Summer Teacher Institute July 20-22, 2007 * Chattanooga, TN
FOR MORE INFORMATION Jennifer Rosenberry, Education Coordinator 301.665.1400 X 204 or jrosenberry at civilwar.org
This summer, make your professional development FUN!
Teachers across the country are invited to take part in a national conference featuring practical methods for teaching the Civil War to students. Sponsored by the Civil War Preservation Trust, this sixth annual Summer Teacher Institute will be held July 20 -22, 2007, in Chattanooga, TN.
Education professionals who work with elementary through high school students are encouraged to attend. Participants pre-register for their choice of focused workshops on Friday and Sunday, as well as a full-day field trip on Saturday.
A mixture of methods and content knowledge will be presented at the institute. The purpose of the program is not to provide a series of lectures; rather, our goal is to help teachers find practical, usable classroom ideas to boost your students? skill and motivation. And, you will have the opportunity to network with teachers from across the country.
Eminent historians James I. Robertson, Jr., and William C. Davis will be featured at this event. Dr. Robertson is a prominent author as well as Alumni Distinguished Professor of History at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Mr. Davis is the author or editor of more than 40 books in the fields of Civil War and Southern history who was featured on the A&E network series Civil War Journal.
To date, workshops include Dancing the Civil War, Southern Newspapers, Making Local Connections, The Navies, Country Music and the Civil War, Controversy and the Causes of the Civil War, Patrick Cleburne, Textbook Strategies for Struggling Readers, and Period Perspectives on Slavery?s End. Field trip choices include either Chickamauga or Lookout Mountain.
The institute is being presented in partnership with Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park. Preparations are being made to partner with a higher education institution in order to provide between 1.2 and 1.5 continuing education units towards professional development. A limited number of stipends will be available.
Only teachers will be accepted for the program. We are sorry, but no non-teaching spouses or children will be accepted.
Meals are included in registration but participants are responsible for their own lodging. There is no cost, but there is a $50 deposit upon registration which is refundable after teachers attend the program. A block of rooms has been reserved at the host hotel, the Sheraton Read House in downtown Chattanooga.
To register or obtain further information, contact Jen Rosenberry at jrosenberry at civilwar.org or 301.665.1400 X 204.
