In the summer of 2010 the National Humanities Center will offer three live, online professional development seminars exclusively for North Carolina high school teachers of American history and literature.
The National Humanities Center will provide a stipend of $100 to each participant. Registration is limited to one seminar per educator.
These seminars seek to deepen teacher content knowledge, introduce teachers to fresh primary resources, and offer advice on how to use those resources with students. They explore documents and images through discussion led by distinguished scholars. Texts come chiefly from the Center's online resources for teachers Toolbox Library and TeacherServe®.
Each participant will be asked to introduce at least one seminar text into his or her instruction through the use of the Center's Primary Document Classroom Application Form. Completed forms will be shared on the web.
Participation requires a computer with an internet connection and the capacity to accommodate speakers and a microphone. Request a headset.
Recertification Credit: Three National Humanities Center online seminars will provide ten and a half contact hours or 1 CEU credit. Because the seminars are conducted online, they may qualify for technology credit in districts that award it. The Center will provide documentation of participation.
Registration Deadline: May 28, 2010
