Humanities Texas will hold a one-day workshop at Region 10 for social studies teachers covering the Civil War era. Content will be aligned with the TEKS. Topics to be addressed include slavery and the Civil War, the road to the Civil War, and turning points of the Civil War. The workshop will feature close interaction with scholars, the examination of primary sources, and the development of effective pedagogical strategies and engaging assignments and activities. Teachers will receive books and other instructional materials.

Workshop faculty includes Leslie Alexander (Rutgers University), Richard Bell (University of Maryland), Michelle Kuhl (University of Wisconsin Oshkosh), and Sarah Purcell (Grinnell College).

The workshop is open to secondary-level humanities teachers in Texas schools.  Priority consideration will be given to early-career teachers in low-performing schools and districts.
