Summaries

This program focuses on the use of history as a tool for curricular integration. You will see a reproduction of an eighteenth century fire engine in use, and then learn how historians dissect the past to learn about all aspects of combating fire in colonial times. You will also learn how your students can learn these same techniques to become amateur historians themselves. A panel of historians, teachers, and curriculum specialists discuss how to put the lessons of the past to work in the classroom. You will discover how to use history lessons not just for social studies classes, but in orther subjects such as science, English and mathematics. This program will serve as a primer on using history as a tool for lessons well beyond history.—CWP <[email protected]>
