What is the American Dream?
Participating elementary, middle and high school teachers will share dinner and conversation in a friendly, professional atmosphere at the New-York Historical Society. Participants will deepen their knowledge of American history and learn strategies for bringing history-rich literature into the classroom. Participants will work with staff from the New-York Historical Society to analyze and contextualize the books and share ideas for using them with their students. Participants will receive a book and reader's guide prior to a school vacation and then meet at the New-York Historical Society from 4:30-6:30 on meeting dates for a discussion of the content of the book, additional resources, and teaching strategies. |
