Teaching American History Grant
In 2009 Area Cooperative Educational Services (ACES), in partnership with the Yale History Department and funded through a federal Teaching American History grant, embarked on a professional development program in American History for select ACES elementary school teachers. Leading historians will introduce participating teachers to new scholarship and teaching strategies in American History through monthly History Forums, which will combine lectures, readings, and primary document workshops. Working with historians, archivists, and curriculum specialists, our participating teachers will explore and develop strategies for introducing these themes and documents into their elementary school classrooms. These forums will be supplemented with Saturday field trips and professional development days, curriculum development workshops, teacher-initiated history projects, and an annual Summer Institute.
