FOCUS:
The Agrarian South and the Industrializing North (1800's)
TAH GRANT EVENTS:
 |
Colloquia & Workshops - Throughout each grant year, participants will attend nine days of
content-rich colloquia. Our goals embedded in the grant are to increase
teacher content knowledge and to increase student knowledge. Colloquia
occur during the fall, winter and summer months. Presentations are
conducted by noted scholars in the field of history and history education.
Teachers will collaborate, investigate teaching strategies, and conduct
historical research.
Our two-day spring workshop will enable teachers to get hands-on experience
while working with our local and regional resources. Teachers will become
familiar with all that our region has to offer, ultimately helping our students
better understand where they live.

Book Club - The purpose of our history book club is to help teachers become more familiar with
our American history. Participants will be reading a variety of
content-rich books. We plan to meet every few weeks in a variety of
settings to conduct a salon (a meeting of intellectuals). Plans include
regular face-to-face meetings at various sites between our participants
throughout the three counties. Additional discussions will occur with CSUF
professors who will help plan discussion topics and will oversee a few meetings
related to the reading. This will be scholarship at its finest.
