Friday, November 13, 2015

HSP is proud to announce an online graduate course for educators beginning in 2016: Preserving American Freedom: A Primary Source Approach to Teaching American History.

Based upon HSP's digital project Preserving American Freedom, the course will move chronologically through American history from the late 1600s to the late 1900s. Each class session will consist of background about the time period by a scholar, presentation of primary sources for use in teaching the period by HSP staff, and a demonstration - also by HSP staff - of methodology for how best to use the sources to meet Common Core standards of literacy and social studies.

This course is being offered through Temple University's School of Education.  The 15-week online course has four required virtual meetings: 1/20/16, 2/10/16, 3/9/16, and 4/6/16 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Tuition for this three-credit course is $2,600.

This is a unique opportunity for participating educators to gain access to thousands of primary source documents for use in classroom lessons, as well as specific teaching strategies to help bring these sources to life for students. 

Interested students: please email educate@temple.edu to register for course EDUC 5010, section 706. The Course Reference Number (CRN) is 28363.
