Join Ann Clements, AHC’s Education Outreach Coordinator and Kathleen Pate, Education Specialist at the Clinton Presidential Library for engaging professional development sessions at locations across Arkansas this summer. Workshops begin June 7 and end August 2. You can visit the HumanitiesAR Professional Development page for the workshop calendar links with location, times, PD hours offered and registration information here.
The summer workshops will engage teachers with content related to Social Studies (Arkansas History, U.S. History, World History, Civics, Government, Economics), English Language Arts, Fine Arts, and STEM. In addition, participants will explore strategies for incorporating these primary source materials into their classrooms. The workshops are designed for pre-K -12th-grade teachers and librarians/media specialists. The workshops are free to attend but registration is required.
Both HumanitiesAR and CPL will provide giveaways such as books, flash drives, and other resource materials including the “Rightfully Hers” pop-up exhibit funded by the National Archives Foundation.
HumanitiesAR has a number of initiatives of interest to teachers, including grants providing funding for field trips and professional development, a newly created Teacher page on the HumanitiesAR website, We the People resources and lesson plans. During these workshops, Clements will also announce the 2023-24 schedule for the Smithsonian traveling exhibit, Voices and Votes and its accompanying classroom resources. Pate will discuss the Clinton Presidential Library educational resources for pre-K – 12th teachers including curriculum, student programs, teacher workshops and will learn about events connected to the Women’s Voices, Women’s Votes, Women’s Rights exhibit at the Clinton Presidential Library from September 8, 2022 to April 2, 2023.
