Educator Resource Workshop: Using Army History in the Classroom

This teacher workshop program is a free full-day course provided by the Army Heritage Center Foundation and the U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center (USAHEC). Designed for Middle and High School educators in Social Studies, History or related subjects.

Deepen your understanding about the connection of Army history and American history by exploring the archives of the USAHEC. Develop skills in teaching all aspects of American military history using primary sources to create lesson plans. Participants in each workshop will learn how to use an archive like the USAHEC, analyze, and interpret primary sources, including documents, photographs, and artifacts, and create educational materials and activities that align with the Pennsylvania Academic Standards. To welcome you, experience a behind the scenes tour of the Archives and Exhibits led by the USAHEC’s knowledgeable staff.
