Description
Join educators from the Virginia Museum of History & Culture and the Frontier Culture Museum (FCM) to engage with the project-based learning program Virginia History Day and the education resources of the FCM. Teachers will bolster their historical thinking and primary source research skills, learn how to introduce these concepts to their students, and take away resources and techniques that can be used in their classrooms. Elementary-level resources will be the focus of this event, but educators from all grade levels are encouraged to attend. This workshop is sponsored in part by the Library of Congress Teaching with Primary Sources Eastern Region Program, coordinated by Waynesburg University.
This free, in-person workshop will be held on Saturday, Sept 10 from 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM at the Frontier Culture Museum, located at 1290 Richmond Road, Staunton, VA 24401. Coffee and refreshments will be provided, and all participants will be entered for a chance to win a $25 gift card. Participating teachers will be eligible for CEUs and recertification points. All Virginia social studies educators, including from homeschools and private schools, are encouraged to attend. Space is limited, so register today!
Registration ends Friday, September 9.
