Institute Outcomes
Teachers will…
 * •** Begin to understand the theme of immigration and American expansion (1840-1912), and how these immigrants contributed to American nation building, by attending summer institute sessions, tours and completing selected readings.
 * •** Become familiar with the targeted American history learning standard from the [|state curriculum frameworks] that should be reflected in their American history lesson.
 * •** Begin to see the connections among the varied primary source materials (i.e., artifacts, documents, etc.) at the historic sites/societies, libraries, archives and museums; their grade-level essential question; and targeted learning standard(s).
 * •** Begin narrowing the choices of national parks/historic sites upon which their lesson will focus.

Lesson Planning Workshops
Workshops 1 and 2 require that ALL teachers meet together to identify their lesson topics and create a unit assessment that will integrate individual lessons. While you are responsible for developing a single lesson it **MUST** be part of a unit.
