Larry H. Miller History Seminars




For those of you who teach American history/literature (5th, 8th, and 11th grades), or for whom American history and literature are a personal passion (me! me!), check out this press release from the Larry H. Miller Education Project:





The Larry H. Miller Education Project and Zion’s Bank are pleased to announced the following History Seminars for the summer of 2010:








Teachers may begin applying immediately by visiting  the Larry H. Miller Education Project website at www.millereducation.org.  The deadline for application is January 8th, 2010. 


In addition to having all their expenses covered, participating teachers also receive teaching materials and may receive Weber State University graduate credit.  Teachers who are selected are required to attend a pre-seminar meeting and a post-seminar meeting in the Salt Lake area.
The seminars aim to improve teaching in history throughout the state by providing hands-on instruction at historically significant sites.  These seminars focus on the “what” and “how” of teaching by coupling intensive on-site education (the what) from distinguished professors with pedagogical strategies (the how) from experienced classroom teachers.  The seminars are designed to inform, inspire, and support excellent classroom teaching.
