Attend NHD Philly Kick-Off at HSP

2014-10-16 13:11

Join us on Tuesday, October 28 at 4:30 p.m.. for the National History Day (NHD) Philly kick-off program. NHD is a great program to help students in grades 6-12 practice research and critical thinking skills, elements important to their future in the workplace and school.  This workshop is for teachers who have worked with the NHD program before as well as those who would like to learn about it for the first time.

Workshop activities will be geared to differing levels of prior experience with NHD. In general, though, teachers will learn what  NHD is and how it aligns with Pennsylvania Core Standards.  Representatives from over twenty of Philadelphia’s cultural institutions will share their resources for student research.  In addition, Elissa Goldberg, middle school teacher and librarian and HSP's Beneficial NHD Teacher Fellow, will share how she has successfully implemented the program. There will be examples of past student projects to inspire involvement, and refreshments will be served.

For the fourth year in a row, HSP will be hosting the citywide kick-off program for NHD Philly, thanks to the generous support of the Beneficial Foundation.
