Educator Resources

Professional Development

We are currently offering professional development via webinar only due to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic.

Webinars

Educators can participate in document-based workshops on finding and teaching with primary sources, and on specific historical topics. Our interactive webinars for educators feature historical documents, images, maps, posters, and other primary sources — as well as resources and strategies for bringing primary sources into your classroom. All webinars are free of charge.

Request one of these programs on our distance learning page:

  • An Introduction to DocsTeach
  • Teaching the Founding Documents: The Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights 
  • National History Day

 

Or sign up for a professional development workshop as part of our Civics for All of US initiative. During each interactive session, participants engage with primary sources and partake in collaborative group work and discussion to discover how to use National Archives resources and programs to teach civic knowledge and skills.
