The Society's Footlocker program offers thematic "traveling trunks" focused on a wide variety of topics, from archaeology to World War II. Each footlocker is filled with reproductions of clothing, tools, everyday objects, maps, photographs, documents. In addition, each footlocker user guide includes historical narratives for educators and students, lesson plans (many of which do not require material from the footlockers), and Amazing Montanan biographies. We've also just finished aligning all of the lesson plans included in the user guides to the new Montana social studies standards.
We make footlockers available to Montana educators for two weeks at a time at no charge. However, schools are responsible for the cost of shipping the footlocker to the next venue via United Parcel Service (UPS) or the United States Postal Service (USPS). Can't afford shipping (or the footlocker you want is already reserved for the time you want it)? Many of the lessons in the User Guides can be completed without ordering the footlocker, and our newer footlockers have the two-dimensional artifacts (photos, posters, etc.) available as PowerPoints that you can download.

And speaking of standards alignment--tomorrow is the last day to register for our October 13 online professional development: Diving into the New Social Studies Standards. We'll be meeting from 4:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m.. Attendees will receive one OPI renewal unit. Register here.
