Welcome Back

Welcome back! Or if you are new to Teaching Montana History, welcome. I hope everyone had a good summer. The first posts of the school year are always business, so let's get started.

Apply for a Scholarship to Attend the Montana History Conference in Butte

We're back in person for the 48th Annual Montana History Conference, September 23-25. View the program and then apply for a Dennis and Phyllis Washington Foundation scholarship to cover your conference registration and some of your travel expenses. (We also provide OPI Renewal Units to conference attendees.) 

Back by Popular Demand: Online PD

Join us the second Wednesdays of the month, from 4:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m. for an hour of interactive professional development, and earn one OPI Renewal Unit. First up, September 8: Introduction to MHS Resources: Participants will be given time to explore the MHS website and then will be asked to share resources they plan to use in their classrooms. Register here before September 7 to receive a link to the Zoom meeting.

For Students with Learning Disabilities

Did you know? Montana: Stories of the Land is available as an audio book for students with learning disabilities through Learning Ally.

When Links Don't Work 

We had to migrate our website to a new platform, which may have led to some broken links. We can usually fix bad links quickly if we know about them. Will you help us identify problems by emailing me any broken links you find? Pretty please? 

Teaching Montana History Facebook Group

If you spend time on Facebook, I hope you'll join--and actively participate--in our closed Teaching Montana History Facebook group. It's a great way to connect to other teachers. I look forward to connecting with you there—or through phone or email. Please don't hesitate to contact me. 

Finding Teaching Resources

You can find resources on the "For Educators" page of the MHS website. They are organized by subject, as well as by skill level: Elementary, Middle School, and High School.
