The Smithsonian's National Museum of American History invites local (DC, MD, VA) elementary and secondary teachers to take 5 minutes to apply for its cost-free Teach-it-Forward Institute. The goal of the Institute is to familiarize participants with the Museum's resources and teaching strategies, and to prepare them to share lessons learned with fellow educators. In session one, participants will go behind-the-scenes, working closely with museum educators, curators, archivists, and theater staff to develop content knowledge, explore resources, and learn hands-on and multidisciplinary skill building activities that are immediately applicable to standards based teaching. Six months later, participants will return for session two in which they will learn methods for sharing this content with fellow educators, develop their own workshop, and explore an exhibit with a curator. After Session 2, participants can continue to receive support and guidance as they conduct professional development workshops in their home districts through an online community. Elementary teachers will participate on June 27, 2012 and January 12, 2013; secondary teachers will participate on June 29, 2012 and January 26, 2013. Applicants are accepted on a rolling basis until May 7, 2012. Space is limited, so please apply early. Please do not hesitate to contact us with questions.
