Colloquia/Workshop/Institute - Throughout each grant year, participants will attend eleven days of content-rich training.  Our goals embedded in the grant are to increase teacher content knowledge and to increase student knowledge. These meetings will occur during the fall, winter, spring 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 with Fresno Historical Society 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, thus helping them to provide their students with a better understanding of where they live. Ultimately, both teachers and students will realize the link between local, regional, and American history.
