National Council for History Education (NCHE) Conference,
"Conflict and Cooperation in History"
April 21 - 23, 2005, Pittsburgh, PA
Join hundreds of teachers, academics, curriculum specialists and museum educators at the 2005 National Council for History Education (NCHE) Conference "Conflict and Cooperation in History" as we welcome noted biographer, David McCullough to the Hilton Pittsburgh & Towers. The conference runs from April 21 - 23, 2005.
Located at the forks of the Ohio, and at the confluence of the Monongahela and Allegheny Rivers, the "Point" attracted George Washington due to its strategic importance on behalf of the Virginia colony.
The "Point" should attract you in 2005 due to the tactical teaching advantage to be gained in any educational setting. Attend a myriad of sessions, exhibits and field trips reflecting the conference theme providing practical pointers on combining content, critical thinking and pedagogy. The conference concurrent sessions also feature four strands; TAH grants, Elementary, French & Indian War, and World History.
