SUMMARY:America at 250: The Legacy of the Declaration of Independence
DESCRIPTION:Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King\, Jr. both argued that the proper foundation for civic education is the belief that America has a moral essence derived from the principles of the Declaration of Independence\, and that America’s history and purpose—its past\, present\, and future—is the story of our struggle to live up to those principles. In this seminar\, we will read three documents–the Declaration of Independence\, the Gettysburg Address\, and the “I Have a Dream” Speech”– that demonstrate that an American is not just a citizen or an abstract concept\, but a certain kind of human being\, a person whose mind and heart have been profoundly shaped by the principles contained in the Declaration\, especially the truth of the proposition that all men are created equal. That understanding of an American still resonates with teachers\, students\, and citizens today\, 250 years after Thomas Jefferson first wrote the words that made America: “We hold these truths to be selfevident\, that all men are created equal.” \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.

SUMMARY:The Progressive Critique of the Declaration of Independence
DESCRIPTION:Explore how early 20th-century Progressives challenged the ideals of the Declaration. This webinar examines debates over imperialism\, the role of the government\, and eugenics\, revealing how these controversies reshaped ideas of liberty\, citizenship\, and America’s role in the world. Perfect for social studies educators looking to bring the complexities of history to life in the classroom. \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.

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!

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.

SUMMARY:War and Remembrance: Historical Memory and the Meaning of America
DESCRIPTION:The American Civil War was a military contest between defenders and opponents of the union of American states. Reunification of the country involved a contest of words over how to remember the war. Leaving aside the Lost Cause view of the Civil War\, even defenders of the Union did not learn the same lessons of that monumental conflict. In the following speeches by key actors of that national drama\, we find different opinions regarding the meaning of the War and its lessons for post-war America. Compare and contrast Lincoln’s remarks with those delivered by Holmes\, Chamberlain\, and Douglass. What can we learn today by reflecting on these speeches that can help us maintain our unity as Americans in our own divisive times? \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 the documents in advance and come ready with questions. All attendees will receive a Letter of Attendance at the end of the seminar.

SUMMARY:643: Inclusion and Exclusion Under the Constitution
DESCRIPTION:HIST 643 O1C / POLSC 643 O1C: Inclusion and Exclusion Under the Constitution\nIn the nearly 240 years since its drafting\, the United States Constitution has been transformed\, primarily (though not exclusively) through judicial interpretation\, from a document that was written principally with an eye on white male landholders to one that requires protection of the right to same-sex marriage. During that time\, there has been a constant push-pull between inclusion and exclusion under the Constitution. Yet it is the genius of what the Founders crafted that the overall trajectory has been one of increasing and universal inclusion. This course will examine this crucial process from Indian Removal to Obergefell v. Hodges. \nSchedule: Tuesdays & Thursdays\, 8:15-11:30 p.m. ET\nCourse Materials: Syllabus and Course Pack

SUMMARY:How Congress Began
DESCRIPTION:Congress began as a revolutionary body\, gathering representatives from the colonies to protest British policy and eventually declaring independence from Great Britain.  During the Revolution Congress served as the organ of government for the new United States\, but dissatisfaction with their performance led to the Philadelphia Convention of 1787 and the redesign of Congress as a bicameral legislature.  Looking at the Revolutionary Congresses\, the Articles Congress\, the Convention’s reconfiguration\, and the First Congress under the new Constitution\, we will explore the origins of America’s “republican branch.” \n\nHistoric Site: James Madison’s Montpelier\nHotel: Constitutional Village at Montpelier\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. Multi-Day Seminars are a free opportunity for teachers hosted near an important historical site.

SUMMARY:"Sprightly" Sentiments: Female Satirists of the 19th Century
DESCRIPTION:This one-day seminar explores how 19th-century women utilized wit and satire to navigate three pivotal eras of American history: the challenges of frontier life and Western settlement\, the political upheavals of the Civil War\, and the social reforms of the Progressive Era.Participants will analyze how humorists like Marietta Holley and Mary Abigail Dodge used “sprightly” prose and rural dialects to challenge gender norms and comment on national crises. Through a survey of these three distinct periods\, the seminar examines how women transformed satire into a powerful tool for political expression and social change. \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.
