Another Free PD

 Free registration is now open for the Smithsonian's 2026 National Education Summit.

This free in-person and online multi-day event will be held July 14–16, 2026.  It is designed to unite leading voices in education under the theme "Together We Thrive: Towards a More Perfect Union." Four session tracks will equip you with classroom-ready ideas as we prepare for the United States’ Semiquincentennial in 2026.

Sessions led by talented Smithsonian educators will explore relevant themes at the intersections of art, culture, history, and science, relating to four learning strands: 

  • Cultivating the Power of Dialogue
  • Designing STEAM Solutions for Civic Challenges
  • Leveraging the Arts as Civic Voice
  • Placing History in Context

A Professional Development Certificate of Achievement will be given to all attendees. (And if you send me yours, I'll get you certificate for an OPI Renewal Unit). 

P.S. If you haven't yet completed our year-end survey, please don't forget to do so! I rely on the Teaching Montana History community for ideas and inspiration, and the posts in which I compile your recommended lessons and strategies are my favorite to write and most of your favorites to read. Plus, you may win a prize.
