Amazing Teaching with Primary Sources Summer PD Opportunity

Are you a teacher interested in curating Primary Source sets for classroom use? 

Join the Montana Memory Project (MMP) this summer for an all-expenses-paid workshop/work session in Choteau, Montana, to learn how to search and use our resources, create a project to use with your students, and create an online exhibit. Exhibits will be published on our website to be shared widely. To give attendees our full focus, attendance will be limited to 20 people. Participants will be selected based on application form responses.

An abbreviated agenda is shared below. A more detailed agenda will be provided to final participants. 

Monday, August 1 – Half-day (afternoon) Dino Expedition with the Montana Dinosaur Center in Bynum

This expedition teaches the basics - fossil identification, surface mapping, and field search. Learn about the local and geologic history on our way to our various field sites.

*This is a site tour only and does not involve any digging, although you will see plenty of dinosaur bones! 

Tuesday, August 2 - Day of learning and research. 

Wednesday, August 3 - Finish research and share projects

Dinosaur center tour, hotel, and meals are provided.

Teachers who finish and publish a project will be eligible for a $375.00 stipend. Attendees will also earn 16 OPI Renewal Units.
