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

With partners from the Queens College School of Education and LaGuardia Community College, this three-year Teaching American History program (2007-2010) works with K-12 teachers who teach English Language Learner students. At seminars during the school year, teachers learn both new historical material and pedagogical approaches designed for English-Language Learners. Summer institutes provide opportunities to put new knowledge and pedagogy into practice developing materials for their own classrooms.

The American Social History Project/Center for Media and Learning provides internships for students interested in history, social studies education, and digital media. We also offer internships for students with various technical skills (e.g. web programming and podcast production). Interns may assist in research and production of our educational materials or in preparing for faculty and curriculum development programs.
