Attention educators: NHD is excited to offer three brand new, no-cost virtual professional development opportunities during the academic year!

The first course, Researching Silent Heroes, allows teachers and librarians to learn the Silent Hero research process by selecting and researching a Silent Hero from World War I, World War II, Korea, or Vietnam. We have space for 60 teachers in this program, running from November 2024 through April 2025.

The second course, Teaching African American History, is an opportunity to learn from leading historians and educators to explore the latest historical scholarship and pedagogy to teach African American history. We have space for 120 teachers, running from December 2024 to April 2025.

The third course, Historical Argumentation, helps teachers construct a historical argument using the vast resources of the Library of Congress. We have space for 60 teachers, running from December 2024 to April 2025.

Applications for these programs will close at noon ET on Friday, October 18, 2024. Head to nhd.org/programs to learn more and apply now. We can't wait to learn with you!

These programs are sponsored by generous grants from the American Battle Monuments Commission, the 400 Years of African American History Commission, the Bezos Family Foundation, and the Library of Congress.
