This institute is designed for upper elementary, middle, and high school educators from disciplines including Social Studies and ELA. Up to 25 participants will be accepted. The MCHC team will evaluate candidates based upon the institute’s relevance to their work with K-12 audiences and commitment to incorporating resources into classroom instruction. This is a competitive application process.
Content focuses of the institute will encompass events taking place in Mid-Atlantic history from approximately 1775 to 1825, and will include discussion of the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, and the Early National period. Events in the Mid-Atlantic, particularly in Maryland, will be utilized as a case study for the larger American experience and illuminate how the region’s ideologies and progress reflect a nationwide reckoning with citizenship and freedom. Scholars and presenters will broach themes of enslavement, freedom, and citizenship for Black Marylanders and other politically marginalized groups such as women, Indigenous People, and the working class. Attendees will have extensive access to MCHC primary source collections, which will provide the foundation for development of instructional material. Participants will gain an understanding of the elements of successful historical investigations, including disciplinary literacy strategies, and will work in small groups to create effective historical investigations lesson seeds. Teachers will be required to develop their lesson seeds into full lessons following the conclusion of the institute.
