What can archaeology education do for YOU?
This conference provides educators and archaeologists with professional development through sessions, workshops, field trips, and indigenous speakers. Enjoy opportunities for networking, partnering, and mentoring. Discover high-quality educational materials to take home!
We invite all archaeology educators to attend this gathering such as classroom teachers, archaeologists, museum educators; college faculty, staff, and students; descendant community members, and anyone else who is interested in archaeology education!
The National Archaeology Educators Conference is professional development for Project Archaeology’s National Network of state coordinators, master teachers, facilitators, and others who are interested in connecting people to the past to protect and honor our shared cultural heritage.
Project Archaeology can help you achieve excellence in archaeology education wherever you teach: K-12 classrooms, museums, youth and adult programs, and university education. We train you to deliver high-quality archaeology education to your community through curricula, workshops, and lesson presentations.
Networking with peers and mentors makes this conference valuable now and in the future. This year we will focus on how Project Archaeology can help you achieve excellence in archaeology education through visiting rock art sites, listening to cultural perspectives, and experiencing hands-on lessons in the classroom and at archaeological sites. There is a special session dedicated to discussing how to teach difficult history with a panel of honored guests.
