Make your mark on our It's Revolutionary! project by working with the BEYOND The Exhibits team to contribute to resources for educators across the state!

The North Carolina Museum of History is looking for a team of educators to work with us on a project for the upcoming 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution. As part of the It’s Revolutionary! endeavor, we are producing an Educators’ Notebook with background information, primary and secondary sources, and lesson plans. We will contract with teachers to create original lesson plans targeted towards fourth, eighth, and high school audiences.

Details:
-BEYOND The Exhibits will provide background information and other resources for teachers to use and reference when creating lesson plans.
-BTE will provide a lesson plan template.
-Educators will create 20-25 original lesson plans for their assigned grade level based on the notebook outline.
-Contracted teachers will be paid $8,500.00 in four installments in conjunction with Notebook work schedule.
-Work will begin in the summer of 2024 and conclude in March of 2025.
