Outreach Sessions in 2002

The Teaching American History Program is planning to conduct a series of outreach sessions in preparation for its 2002 grant competition, which will award $100 million in grants to local school districts in partnership with providers of history expertise. The grant provides professional development for U.S. history teachers. A Federal Register announcement is expected in early April; but the sessions will be held whether or not the announcement is out by that time. Please call or email the contact person to check on details before making your plans to attend.
