History Day Methods is designed to prepare new or returning teachers to integrate History Day in their classrooms. This program has five interactive modules that educators work through over the course of five weeks. Teachers and CMHD staff will meet weekly on Zoom throughout the course to discuss the modules, assignments, and questions.
Outside of the Zoom meetings, teachers will work through the modules and learn more about the History Day program, requirements, and strategies for how to implement History Day in the classroom. Educators will be able to chat with other History Day teachers and History Day staff about the content, as well as any questions or concerns.
