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 Teachers will prepare ahead of time for seminars by reading selected historical documents in the provided course packet.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:The Cold War: From Origins to Apogee\, 1945-1962
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 Teachers will prepare ahead of time for seminars by reading selected historical documents in the provided course packet.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.  \nAfter defeating Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan\, the American people looked forward to a long period of peace and cooperation with their former allies in the Soviet Union. What they got instead was 45 years of simmering international hostility\, occasionally breaking out in proxy wars\, and on several occasions bringing the world to the brink of nuclear war. This seminar will examine roughly the first half of the Cold War\, from its origins through the Cuban Missile Crisis\, with an emphasis on the different ways that the ongoing contest with the Soviet Union was handled by Presidents Truman\, Eisenhower\, and Kennedy. \nApplications are closed for this seminar. Summer 2026 applications are coming soon!

We will analyze debates over entering the war and expanding the postwar role of the United States in the world\, the homefront mobilization required to fight overseas\, challenges to civil liberties during the conflict\, the wartime fight for expanded civil rights by women and African Americans\, the American soldiers’ experience of war\, and the enduring legacy of the conflict.

SUMMARY:We Insist: An Africana Journey Through History\, Music\, and Culture
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.  \nInspired by Max Roach’s groundbreaking 1960 album “We Insist! Freedom Now Suite\,” this seminar explores the powerful intersections of music\, history\, and culture across the African diaspora. Using the album as a point of departure\, teachers will trace the struggles and triumphs of Black communities from the civil rights and anti-colonial movements of the mid-20th century to contemporary global movements for liberation. Through close listening\, critical readings\, and interdisciplinary analysis\, we will examine how music functions as both a historical document and a tool for resistance\, healing\, and collective identity. Students will engage with jazz\, freedom songs\, and other forms of Black musical expression to understand how sound embodies protest and possibility. This journey will serve as a soundtrack as we navigate through the collections at the International African American Museum.

SUMMARY:The World Wars and the American State
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.

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.  \nThe World Wars unleashed destruction on such a massive scale\, and in such a short period of time\, that the nation-states involved were all pressured to make extraordinary efforts to marshal the total resources at their disposal to survive and seek victory. The demands of  these total wars would fundamentally transform the American State\, as the federal government\, particularly the executive branch\, took unprecedented powers to enlist millions of its citizens into the armed forces and to turn the United States’ immense industrial capacity into what Franklin Roosevelt called “the arsenal of democracy.”  This seminar will examine the effects that transformation had on the American state\, on the constitutional balance between the branches of government and between the federal and state governments\, and on the relationship of citizens to the state.
