Free PD Opportunity: "Making It Real--A Montana Historical Society Workshop for Elementary and Middle School Teachers"

We're finally bringing Jim Schulz, whose been presenting for us all over the state, to Helena!

Along with a few of our Elementary and Middle School Teacher Leader Fellows, Jim will be leading the six-hour workshop "Making It Real," on June 24, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Montana Historical Society. Participants will earn 6 OPI Renewal Units.

The workshop will focus on ways to incorporate writing, engage and empower students, and to teach them to look for evidence to support their claims, all while making the past as real as possible.

The workshop will begin with Visual Thinking Strategies. (My own feeling is you can't have too much training on using this strategy--the more you practice the better you get.)

Then MHS Elementary and Middle School Teacher Leader in History Fellows--all master Montana history teachers--will present their favorite lessons in a lightening round, focusing on "never fail" strategies and resources.

After lunch, Jim Schulz will lead attendees in an exploration of immigration and immigrant life in Montana and provide some time for participants to explore the myriad of resources available for educators on the MHS website.
