Investigating History Summer Institute | Making the Curriculum Yours

Participants in day two of this flexible two-day summer institute take a personalized look at ways to make the Investigating History meet their goals in their context. Facilitators will differentiate the experiences for Day 2 to meet educators' goals related to internalizing, pacing, assessing, building interdisciplinary coherence, and planning for successful implementation for all learners. The deeper dive is appropriate for those who completed Day 1 or those who are experienced with the curriculum.

Participants who complete both days are eligible for 10 PDPs.
