    If you are interested in professional development this summer, please consider applying to the National Endowment for the Humanities Landmarks Workshop The Long Road From Brown, which focuses on school desegregation after Brown v. Board in Virginia.

    This NEH workshop is the forerunner for a TPS Workshop titled "The Local and the Global: School Desegregation in the Context of U.S. History." We select our TPS participants largely from the applicant pool of the NEH workshop participants to support them for an extended period on how to best incorporate primary sources in their civil rights teaching.

    I have also linked our January Newsletter which provides full lesson plans that can be used directly in the classroom as well as articles that will hopefully stimulate strategies for approaching hate and racism in the classroom.
    Thank you for your time!


    Dates: July 12-17 and July 26-31, 2020
    Location: Richmond, VA
    Application Deadline: March 1, 2020
    Stipend: $1,200
