United States in World War II

Deadline: October 8, 2012

Join the NC Civic Education Consortium, a program of UNC’s Program in the Humanities and Human Values, as they present a special two-day training with one of the world’s most respected World War II scholars, Dr. Gerhardt Weinberg. On day one, the Consortium will provide training on engaging, student-centered World War II curriculum.

On day two, teachers will be treated to a tour de force series of four lectures, as Gerhard L. Weinberg explores the United States’ early involvement in the war, its activities in the early phase of the war and efforts to aid the Allies and avoid war with Japan, American strategy in the Pacific and European theaters of war, and the major changes within U.S. society that occurred as a result of American war efforts. Whether you’re familiar with Professor Weinberg’s amazing command of the complexities of this war or new to our programs, you will not want to miss him explore these topics and events that changed world history.  This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for World and US History teachers.

Teachers receive:

• Lesson plans and training from the NC Civic Education Consortium
• Access to World War II scholars
• 1.0 Renewal Credits
• Lunch on Friday and Saturday; snacks on both days.
• Substitute reimbursement (if your district cannot cover the cost*)
• One night’s single occupancy hotel accommodations in Chapel Hill (for participants residing more than 120 round-trip miles from the training location.)
