History Educators Project

Teaching American History through the Lens of Indiana

The History Educators Project: Teaching American History through the Lens of Indiana is a robust, innovative three-year professional development model that will provide preparation in traditional American history for Monroe County Community School Corporation (MCCSC) teachers of grades 4–12. The project is funded as a Teaching American History grant through the U.S. Department of Education. Any MCCSC teacher who teaches U.S. history as part of their social studies curriculum may apply to participate—and 30 participants will be selected. More.
