SUMMARY:JFK and the New Frontier
DESCRIPTION:Gather with a small group of teachers from around the country for three days immersed in discussion and exploration of a single topic in American history. Multi-Day Seminars are a free opportunity for teachers hosted near an important historical site. Teachers will prepare ahead of time for seminars by reading selected historical documents in the provided course packet. Once the seminar begins\, the discussion leader guides a peer-to-peer\, text-based conversation among all participants. Meals\, materials\, single-occupancy rooms\, and historical site visits are 100% covered by Teaching American History. At the end of each course\, every teacher receives a letter of participation for fifteen contact hours of continuing education and a stipend of $600 to help defray travel costs.  \nThis workshop will examine the presidency of the 35th President of the United States\, John F. Kennedy. The early 1960s was a time of prosperity\, optimism\, and idealism in America\, and the young president embodied those themes. We will begin by looking at the issue of Kennedy’s Catholic religion during the 1960 election. Then we will focus on JFK’s domestic policy initiatives as well as his changing attitudes toward civil rights during his short administration. Lastly\, we will examine his Cold War foreign policy\, especially in relation to Cuba and Vietnam. The workshop will also include a tour of the JFK Presidential Library and Museum\, as well as a walking tour of Columbia Point\, the home of the JFK Library\, which includes a wealth of interesting history. \nApplications are closed for this seminar. Summer 2026 applications are coming soon!

SUMMARY:Reform Movements & the Declaration: Women’s Rights
DESCRIPTION:Discover how the Declaration of Independence inspired the women’s rights movement. This webinar explores the ways reformers challenged the nation to live up to its promise of liberty and equality\, examining key campaigns\, speeches\, and writings that connected the struggle for gender equality to the ideals of 1776. Social studies educators will gain a deeper understanding of the historical roots of reform and how these ideas continue to shape American society today.  \nOur live teacher webinars provide content-rich and interactive professional development through conversation.  We’ll share a reading packet with registrants several weeks before the event and provide space for early discussion between participants.  The documents\, pre-seminar conversation\, and questions asked in the discussion board are vital to shaping the direction of the panelists’ conversation.  Audience members ask questions during the event\, comment in the lively chat\, and share resources and ideas. \nOur online seminars meet monthly on select Saturday mornings from 10.45 am–12 pm ET. Those who remain digitally present for the duration of the conversation will receive an attendance letter from Teaching American History for 1.25 hours of professional development.
