Teach-it-Forward Application - 2018

Page One

Program Description
The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History invites local educators (DC, MD, and VA) with a passion for teaching to join us for the Teach-it-Forward Institute. The goal of the Institute is to familiarize participants with the Museum’s resources and teaching strategies, and to prepare them to share lessons learned with fellow educators. This program is free, and breakfast and lunch will be provided.

Participants will go behind-the-scenes at the Museum, working closely with educators, curators, and archivists to develop content knowledge, explore resources, and learn hands-on and multidisciplinary skill building activities that are immediately applicable to standards-based teaching. There will also be opportunities for research at the Museum for secondary educators. Participants will also receive hands-on teaching materials, a certificate of completion, and a membership in the alumni list.  

The institute will take place over the course of two days for elementary and secondary educators, July 30 & 31, 2018
