[WSCSS] Washington History Day free teacher workshops - Registration open

[Rachel Lilley]

WASHINGTON HISTORY DAY TEACHER WORKSHOPS
Registration is still open!

Experienced and prospective teachers alike will benefit from the annual
History Day teacher workshops, offered at four sites statewide.  The
workshops provide educators the tools to successfully implement History
Day in the classroom, including sessions on project preparation, source
analysis, research resources and more. 

Now in its 25th year in Washington State, History Day is a proven,
innovative education program for grades 6-12 that teaches research,
writing, presentation and critical thinking skills. Students conduct
extensive research and synthesize their findings in an exhibit,
documentary, performance or paper. 

For educators new to Washington History Day, our teacher workshops are a
great way to learn not only the basics of the program

, but also the key elements in creating a History Day project and how
History Day meets Washington state Classroom Based Assessment
requirements.

Earn clock hours and enjoy lunch while learning new techniques and
connecting with other teachers.
