It's not often you get the opportunity to spend a week with other Social Studies Teachers, learning content and touring historical places you may not have had the chance to visit before. Who knows, you may run into me!
Professional Development opportunities that is! The application process is open for such awesome summer Seminars such as National Endowment for Humanities or Gilder Lehrman. Both of these seminars provide a small stipend to help with travel expenses. I have been fortunate enough to attend programs sponsored by both groups. I have blogged about them in the past. Check it out here, here or here. There are other opportunities out there for teachers as well. Some you have to pay for out of your pocket and some with small stipends like these. Keep your eyes out and take the time to apply. It is well worth it.
