SUMMARY:The Constitutional Convention
DESCRIPTION:This seminar offers an overview of the debates at the Constitutional Convention. We will examine the purposes of the American political order\, the defects of the Articles of Confederation\, the debates over the reform of the Confederation government and squaring the institution of slavery. In our study\, we will attempt to understand the interests and principles that divided the members of the Convention and how they arrived at a compromise that defined the Constitution of 1787. \nThis program will be conducted as a discussion\, utilizing primary source documents as the only readings\, and with Professor Estes 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:LBJ: Lessons in Presidential Transitions
DESCRIPTION:This seminar explores the presidential transition initiated by the assassination of President Kennedy and how President Johnson responded in his first year in office in terms of policy and executive leadership. The seminar will cover Johnson’s first week in office and the flurry of actions he took to transition the government from his predecessor to his own\, before he moved to shape policy in a number of key areas during his first year in office. The individual seminars are as follows: \n\nA Truncated Transition: From Dallas to Washington\nLBJ and the Civil Rights Act\nLBJ and Vietnam\nLBJ and Voting Right\nStepping Down: Lessons from LBJ’s Withdrawal from the 1968 Race\n\n\nDiscussion Leader: Saladin M. Ambar\nHistoric Site: Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Library \nHotel: The University of Texas at Austin AT&T Hotel and Conference Center\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 Teachers will prepare ahead of time for seminars by reading selected historical documents in the provided course packet.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.
