The National WWI Museum and Memorial PD Opportunities

4/30/2019

0 Comments

 
​The National WWI Museum and Memorial is launching national partnerships for one-day educator workshops on World War I and its enduring impact on the world.  These professional development opportunities are funded by Congress through the U.S. WWI Centennial Commission. For each, Museum and Memorial educators collaborate with partner organizations to offer a blend of meaningful content and primary source focused methodology at a chosen location within each state.
 
Partners for WWI 360: Teach Like an Ace workshops should be interested in providing thought-provoking content to diversify and improve pedagogical approaches to teaching using WWI in social science, language arts, and STEAM classrooms. Partners have included:
  • Auburn University
  • Arizona Council for History Education
  • Center for Middle Eastern Studies at University of Arizona
  • Federal Reserve
  • Ohio History Connection
  • National Archives 
  • Scholastic
  • University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill
  • William J. Clinton Presidential Museum and Library
 
Each location will enroll 40-50 local primary and/or secondary teachers and provide a host space with A/V capabilities. 
 
Workshop participants will receive six hours of professional development, a collection of ready-to-use, cross-curricular teaching resources and the opportunity to publish with the National WWI Museum and Memorial. A meal and snacks are included. 
 
As we expand these workshops into your state, we would deeply benefit from and appreciate your insight. Our Curator of Education is interested in a call to discuss the following: 
  • Are there educator professional development requirements for licensure and advancement? 
  • If so, are their requirements for PD hours to be "certified"?
  • In which grade levels and courses in your state are WWI taught?
  • Is there a standard to which your state's teachers must align (i.e. state standards, Common Core, etc.).   
  • What is an estimate start/end/breaks of the school year in your state?
  • Is there something that we should be aware of - either regarding WWI and your state or teacher licensure/training, etc. to provide the most robust learning opportunity for educators?
  • Are there partners we should contact or highlight?
 
At the heart of this effort is the intention to improve how WWI is taught in the United States and be flexible to organizational needs; if a one-day workshop is not the best model, we want to figure what will best serve your institutions and educators.
Want to stay up-to-date with the latest in teaching WWI in the meantime? Sign up for the National WWI Museum and Memorial’s bi-monthly Educator Email Newsletter for lesson plans, educator resources and historical content.
