"I had an amazing time. I’m blown away by how incredible and informative this was for me. This is one of the coolest opportunities I’ve ever had. I’m so thankful!"-Nickelle B. (Kansas City Weekend Seminar participant)
What is a Weekend Seminar?
Each weekend seminar is focused on a specific topic of American history. Depending on the topic, teachers will prepare ahead of time by reading selected documents provided in the course packet. During the seminar, 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.
Invited participants are responsible for making their own travel arrangements to and from the seminar. At the end of each weekend, every teacher receives a letter of participation for 15 contact hours and a $600 stipend to cover travel costs.
How do I apply to attend a weekend/summer teacher seminar?
How are participants selected?
TAH weekend/summer teacher seminars are scheduled on a quarterly basis. There will be an application link added on the schedule of programs that is normally open for 10 days. Once the application window is closed, our TAH selection committee will choose which teachers will be invited to the seminar. We aim to keep our discussion groups intimate and manageable with a diversity of experience, geography, and teaching level, so we encourage interested teachers to apply. If you did not submit an application, you will not be selected to attend.
