I can’t thank ASHP enough for this year’s program and summer institute. I wouldn’t say that it has made my planning “easier” (it’s never easy), but I have felt much more focused – call it outcome oriented? – as I’ve laid out the big picture for the year

During this three-year program (2006-2009) our staff is working with middle and high school social studies teachers in districts 20, 21, and 31 of the New York City Department of Education. During the school year, teachers are released from school for five day-long seminars led by guest historians and ASHP/CML staff. At summer institutes, teachers work with each other and our staff to create, share, test, and revise classroom materials. Program partners Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Historical Society, and Paley Center for Media host seminars that introduce teachers to their rich collections of art, artifacts, and media.
