NHC: America In Class Fall 2012 Seminar Schedule

America in Class is a continuous program of online seminars from the National Humanities Center (NHC). Even though summer is now underway it's never too early to plan your Fall schedule. 

These seminars focus on teaching with primary sources — historical documents, literary texts, visual images, and audio material. Emphasizing critical analysis and close reading, they address the Common Core State Standards while giving teachers the opportunity to deepen their content knowledge.

Seminar texts are provided free online. The Center draws texts from a variety of sources, including America in Class® primary sources and lessons, and attempts to select fresh material that will invigorate classroom instruction.

Indeed, the NHC has released a fascinating series of online seminars! The Fall 2012 seminars are listed here. Please  click here for the comprehensive list:
