Those of you who won't be able to make it to MFPE in Missoula this year--and especially if you live in Eastern Montana--consider attending this one-day workshop in Sidney for grades 6-12 social studies teachers: Teaching Historical Thinking through Indigenous Histories.
This is a FREE workshop and attending educators will receive a stipend to cover the cost of their travel (including a hotel room for those traveling over 90 miles).
At the workshop, educators will explore tribal histories of the upper Great Plains using primary sources and learn strategies for historical thinking, and student-led historical research.
The workshop is a collaboration between the Montana Historical Society, National History Day in Montana, and the State Historical Society of North Dakota. It is sponsored by the Library of Congress Teaching with Primary Sources Great Plains Region, coordinated by the National Council for History Education.
