January 8th Seminar
Spring WASAH Workshop -- March 2nd, 2011, UW-Green Bay
On March 2, 2011, the WASAH program will host one workshop, instead of two regional workshops. WASAH teaching scholars are required to attend the workshop, to be held at the UW-Green Bay campus. The workshop will again feature a "share fair session" for teachers to share their lesson plans and work products with others. We will again invite "guest teachers" of American history to attend the workshop. Time will be set aside during the workshop for teaching scholars to complete a post-test measuring growth in content knowledge. (Teachers completed the pre-test assessment in Wausau in July 2008.) Listed below is the tentative schedule for the workshop.
