Saturday Webinars
About the Series
Our live teacher webinars provide content-rich and interactive PD 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.
So—grab a cup of coffee and join us online!
Our online seminars meet monthly on select Saturday mornings from 10.45am–12pm ET. Excerpts for discussion, a pre-seminar discussion board, a link to the seminar recording and relevant primary sources will be made available to registrants.
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.
