 The workshops are designed for educators in most subjects and in all
grade levels and provide teachers with strong content-based programs
on topics such as Lincoln, the Civil War, African-American history
and Illinois history, to name a few. These intense "history lessons"
assist educators in developing a solid background on unfamiliar
topics or in mastering a discipline they already know and love. In
addition, the Education Department's hands-on classroom application
programs will provide ideas and methods for teaching historical
content across the curriculum, using digital resources, primary
documents and material culture.All workshops are conducted at the
Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library, are free of charge and offer
continuing professional development units to certified teachers. The
workshops are developed and hosted by the Abraham Lincoln
Presidential Library and Museum's Education Department. Educators
may visit www.alplm.org
for workshop descriptions and additional teacher resources. Contact
