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 Teachers will prepare ahead of time for seminars by reading selected historical documents in the provided course packet.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, double-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.

The seminar examines the events leading up to the attacks on September 11 and the American response. Among the topics it covers are the rise of militant Islam, the American response to international terrorism, the Patriot Act, intelligence failures, the U.S. attack on the Taliban, the subsequent war in Afghanistan, the war in Iraq, and the consequences of the attacks for American politics.
