Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness
In 2008 ACES, in partnership with the Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery, Resistance, and Abolition at Yale University, the Yale History Department, and funded through a federal Teaching American History grant, embarked on a professional development program in American History for select ACES middle and high school teachers. Leading historians will introduce participating teachers to new scholarship and teaching strategies in American History through monthly History Forums, which will combine lectures, readings, and primary document workshops. Working with historians, archivists, and curriculum specialists, our participating teachers will explore and develop strategies for introducing these themes and documents into their middle school classrooms. These forums will be supplemented with Saturday field trips and professional development days, curriculum development workshops, teacher-initiated history projects, and an annual Summer Institute.
