SUMMARY:American Massacre: What Mob Violence Can Teach Us About American History
DESCRIPTION:This seminar explores what several incidents of mob violence can teach us about American history. Our focus will be on incidents that have occurred in the last 150 years\, with particular attention paid to incidents of anti-Black violence. We will consider primary and some secondary sources in sessions on the Colfax Massacre\, the New Orleans Riot of 1900\, the Chicago Race Riot of 1919\, the Tulsa Massacre\, and the Battle at Ole Miss. We will seek to determine if we can identify common patterns of thought and behavior that led to these acts of violence and we will consider what might be done to prevent them in the future. \n\nDiscussion Leader: Nicholas Buccola\nHistoric Site: Greenwood Rising\nHotel: Hyatt Regency Tulsa\n\nGather 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. Weekend 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 Teachers will prepare ahead of time for seminars by reading selected historical documents in the provided course packet.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.

SUMMARY:Westward Expansion to Civil War
DESCRIPTION:This elementary teacher focused seminar will explore documents on the expansion of the United States after the founding\, including the impact of the Northwest Ordinance. Teachers will be asked to look at how westward expansion furthered tensions with Native Americans and the issue on slavery as the nation moved toward the Civil War. \nThis program will be conducted as a discussion\, utilizing primary source documents as the only readings\, and with the Discussion Leader facilitating the conversation\, instead of lecturing or presenting. Registrants\, therefore\, are highly encouraged to read all the documents in advance and come ready with questions. Teachers will receive a Letter of Attendance at the conclusion of the seminar.

SUMMARY:The Declaration of Independence in Crisis: Enslavers vs Abolitionists
DESCRIPTION:The Declaration of Independence in Crisis: Origins of the Civil War is a live\, interactive webinar series for secondary social studies teachers that centers the Declaration of Independence in the antebellum era. Through discussion of primary sources\, participants will explore how its ideals fueled the debates and divisions that led to civil war and stood at the heart of the nation’s most profound test. \nThis webinar examines the struggle over slavery through the lens of the Declaration of Independence and its promises of liberty and equality. Through primary sources\, participants will analyze how enslavers and abolitionists intensified divisions over the meaning of the nation’s founding ideals. \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.
