*Harpers Ferry ? Includes three NPS Education programs (John Brown, Civil War in Harpers Ferry, and African American Experience), battlefield tour
Workshops are designed not only to impart specific information about the era but also a variety of pedagogical strategies to help teachers bring the Civil War to life in their classrooms.
Once again, Virginia Tech's Center for Civil War Studies will be an active partner in the institute, and Dr. James I. "Bud" Robertson, director of the center, will be a keynote speaker at the institute. Through our partnership with Virginia Tech, CWPT is able to offer Continuing Education Unit credits to participating educators.
The CWPT Teacher Institute is provided at no direct cost to teachers, who have only to pay for their room and travel. CWPT anticipates being able to provide travel stipends for 10 or more teachers who would not otherwise have been able to attend due to geographic or funding constraints. Stipend applications will be made available to teachers in the near future.
The hotel will be the Sheraton Four Points, Hagerstown. Call (301) 790.3010 to make your reservations. Rooms are $75 per night. Teachers must mention "CWPT Teacher Institute" to get this rate. Parking is free.
