“The History Project has been invaluable in providing teachers with useful, timely, and rigorous hands-on activities for Geography, World History and US History. Having the opportunity to hear and speak with university professors who are experts in their fields and actually having time to collaborate with educators throughout the region are certainly strengths of the program. Educators, take advantage of the History Project offerings; they will take your teaching to a much higher level, and you'll have fun in the process!”
