Wisconsin Teachers Only This summer, Dr. Michelle Schwarze of the University of Wisconsin-Madison will offer “The American Idea: Politics, Freedom, and Conflict” through the Graduate Consortium. In this course, students will trace the evolution of American political thought from the colonial era through the Civil War, examining how promises of liberty, equality, and democracy took shape and collided in practice by reading and assessing primary sources. For the class, students will discuss the readings, think about using primary sources in their classrooms, and complete a final curricular project
The National Archives Foundation welcomes K-12 educators from across the country to apply for this unique opportunity. Our three-day intensive experience is designed to help elementary and secondary educators bring primary source-based activities to their students to increase civic awareness and engagement.
