The two week-long “The Story of Virginia” Teachers Institutes will be held twice: June 29-July 3 and July 20-24. For $150 teachers receive all texts and materials, lunches and three hours of graduate credit from the University of Richmond’s School of Professional and Continuing Studies. The classes are open to all teachers and the University of Richmond will provide housing for out of town participants at a very reasonable rate. Here is the link to the UR website: http://spcs.richmond.edu/degrees/education/teacher-institute/index.html
The other two institutes are the E. Claiborne Robins, Jr., Teachers Institute and the online institute, Primarily Virginia.
This year’s Robins Institute is a two-day workshop “Teaching Alternative Voices,” that we have developed to address some of the changes in the APUSH standards. It too is open to all, but was developed with secondary teachers in mind. The class meets July 13-14 and the cost is $125.
Primarily Virginia will give teachers the opportunity to work with their colleagues from across Virginia on using resources from the Virginia Historical Society and the Library of Congress to enrich student learning. Primarily Virginia: Emancipation and Reconstruction will begin on June 1. The institute consists of six modules, each led by a different scholar. The fee is $40.
All three institutes can be accessed by the link below.
