American Women, American Citizens: 1920-1948
A two-week institute for 30 teachers
on women's history in the United States between 1920 and 1948.
This project comprises a two-week professional
development institute for 30 school teachers and 13 scholars in the field of
women's history in July 2020. This conference will empower teachers to
incorporate the voices of a diverse range of women into their instruction on
early-to-mid 20th century United States history through interactive pedagogy
workshops, lesson writing support, and dialogue with leading scholars in the
field. Participants will deepen their content knowledge of US history in the
1920s, 30s, and 40s, with an emphasis on women; practice incorporating primary
sources and secondary texts into their instruction; and reflect on how women’s
history can and should be woven into the broader history curriculum for middle
and high school students. Participants will have full access to N-YHS's library
and museum collections, as well as to the expertise of our education staff.
