ABILENE, Kan. - The Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum will hold one of seven workshops for educators in the summer of 2012, presented across the nation by staff of the National Archives and Records Administration. Primarily Teaching: Original Documents and Classroom Strategies will be held in Abilene, Kan., from July 16 -20.
This summer, educators of all disciplines are invited to participate in Primarily Teaching, whether they teach history or civics, English, STEM-related courses (science, technology, engineering, math) or the arts. Last year the focus was on the STEM disciplines. Because of that success, teachers of all disciplines across the curriculum are urged to apply -- the records held at the National Archives touch on every imaginable subject matter.
Primarily Teaching is designed to provide access to the rich resources of the National Archives for K-16 educators, librarians, media specialists and museum educators. Participants will learn how to research historical records, create classroom materials based on the records and present documents in ways that sharpen students' skills and enthusiasm.
- Primarily Teaching is supported by the Foundation for the National Archives and Texas Instruments.
- The cost of the institute, including all materials, is $100.
- Graduate credit is available for an additional fee.
- Participation is limited to 10 educators.
- Registration is on a first-come-first-served basis.
- Participants will receive a stipend upon successful completion of the course and project submission.
- Deadline for applications is June 4.
An application for the institute is available online at www.archives.gov/education/primarily-teaching. You may also contact the Education Specialist by calling 785.263.6700 or 877.RING.IKE for more information.
