Welcome
to the web site for Strengthening the Teaching of American History,
a partnership between American
University and the District
of Columbia Public Schools.
Strengthening
the Teaching of American History is a professional development
program offered by the District of Columbia Public Schools in
partnership with the American University Department of History
and School of Education, geared to provide DCPS American history
educators with strategies for improving students' understanding
and appreciation of traditional American history.
This
program will advance the knowledge and expertise of DCPS American
history educators by actively involving teacher participants
in the in-depth study of American history and providing them
with the skills needed to translate that knowledge into motivating
instructional strategies that engage students in the study of
American history.
For
more information on this project, contact Lynn
Fox in the School of Education.
