Workshop 1: July 7 – 13, 2013

 

We seek a diverse cohort of eighty K-12 teachers to participate in this NEH Landmarks of American History and Culture Workshop for School Teachers.  Awardees receive a $1200 stipend for their stay on the Monterey Bay, and will be afforded opportunities for professional development, collegial interaction, and access to noted scholars and fellow educators.  The program as such will consist of historic landmarks tours, art history and indigenous food and culture orientations, and lectures and discussions.

Workshop Readings

 

It is anticipated that the book by Alison Lake (2006) will be read in advance of the workshop, while that of McLaughlin and Mendoza (2009) will serve as a guide to each of those Landmark sites explored in the context of workshop activities. In addition, we have taken the liberty of including Recommended Readings identified with each topic and day for those participants seeking further information and exploration on topics of particular interest.  We will continue to supplement this list of recommendations based on participant interest.
