The Teaching American History Professional Development Project provides learning opportunities to public-school teachers in Southeastern Massachusetts. Funded by grants from the United States Department of Education, the Project runs two separate programs:
"Writing History"
“Writing History” is a Teaching American History grant proposal
by the New Bedford (MA) Public Schools in partnership with Bristol
Community College and the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth, for
the benefit of 18 districts in Southeastern Massachusetts.
Funded: July 2007 through June 2010
"Future History"
Through a mix of lectures, workshops, colloquia, graduate courses and
summer institutes, this program expands middle- and high-school history
teachers’ knowledge of American history through working with historians,
primary documents and technology.
Funded: October 2005 through September 2008
These grant programs bridge the gap between the scholarly practice of historians and the day-to-day teaching of American History by public-school educators.
