American History as Dialogue Offers Second Summer Institute

The Warner School and Monroe #1 BOCES are co-sponsoring the second American History as Dialogue Summer Institute to be held July 14-18 and 22-24. The project is directed by Ellen Santora, assistant professor, teaching and curriculum, and funded by the U.S. Department of Education's Teaching American History Grant Program.

This year's institute, Into the Mainstream: Including Women in American History, will examine critical issues related to women in the American Revolution, the Industrial Revolution, Social Reform, and the Cold War Era. Participants will reflect on the creation of historical understanding using rare books, records, documents, and oral histories and will develop standards-based curriculum modules for use in their own classes.

Anyone who teaches American history classes for grades 4-12 is eligible to attend. The application deadline is April 1.
