*** Old *** REJUVENATE: American History Educator Workshop Series
January 22, February 12, March 12, March 26 and April 30, May 14, 2011 (9am–5:30pm)

Learn, share, co-design and get energized and rejuvenated to teach!

Every individual can remember a teacher who made an unforgettable impact on his or her life. Teachers are passionate, hardworking, positive influences on a child’s life. Besides imparting knowledge, they subtly mold who we become. Teachers are learners, too. They strive to explore ways with which they can make learning fun for the students. Teachers are the epitome of perseverance as they creatively address challenges, such as funding cuts, long hours of work and preparation, test mandates and various student learning styles. At The Henry Ford, we believe teachers are our partners in education, and they need to be empowered in inspiring ways. Our new American History Educator Workshop Series is designed to engage, empower, enlighten and re-energize teachers with immersive learning experiences!

Choose one or all of our workshops this school year and redefine teaching and learning!
