Workshops address the Dominguez family business and inheritance strategies and their relationship to natives and migrants from varied social and cultural backgrounds. Successful applicants whose title will become NEH Summer Scholars will also analyze how territorial industrial expansion transformed the American people and how massive immigration after 1870, including the Chinese, some of whom became laborers on Dominguez lands, formed new social patterns and concepts about national identity. $1200 stipends are offered to help cover expenses. Workshops will be offered twice and applicants may apply to one, but not both, workshops. The first is the week of June 13-17, 2011 and the second is the week of June 20-24, 2011. Applications due March 1st.

NIAGARA UNIVERSITY, N.Y. (Feb, 2011) – Niagara University is now accepting applications from K-12 teachers nationwide for a summer program entitled Crossroads of Empire: Cultural Contact and Imperial Rivalry at Old Fort Niagara. The week-long residential sessions, which take place July 11-15 and July 18-22, 2011 at Old Fort Niagara and Niagara University, have been made possible by funding obtained from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).
Directed by Thomas A. Chambers, Ph.D., chair of Niagara University’s history department, the workshops are focused on the vital history that emanated from Old Fort Niagara, one of most significant and well-preserved 18th century historic sites in North America. Fort Niagara served as an important crossroads between the empires of Great Britain, France, the Haudenosaunee (the native people who inhabited what is now much of New York state and surrounding areas), and, later, the United States as they battled each other for control of the North American continent. The Fort threatened American territory during the Revolution, was occupied by both sides during the War of 1812, and then a peace treaty secured the Fort and region for the United States.
This workshop will immerse NEH Summer Scholars in the world of 18th century life, from both the Native American and European perspective. Participants will interact with historic interpreters, clamber about ramparts dating to the 1700s, handle beaver pelts and trade goods like fishhooks and beads, and perhaps even fire a musket. One unique feature will be an overnight stay at the French Castle, the three-story stone fortress and trading post perched above the crashing waves of Lake Ontario that dates back to 1726. By week’s end NEH Summer Scholars will understand the perspective of the Iroquois people who first inhabited this region, as well as the struggles of ordinary European soldiers who bled and died to control Fort Niagara.
Teachers of grades K-12 at schools in the United States or its territorial possessions, or Americans teaching in foreign schools where at least 50 percent of the students are American nationals, are eligible for this program.
Teachers selected to participate as NEH Summer Scholars will receive a stipend of $1,200 at the end of the residential workshop session. Stipends are intended to help cover travel expenses to and from the project location, books, and ordinary living expenses.
The deadline for applications is March 1, 2011.
For eligibility and application information, please call 716.286.8091, e-mail [email removed].

I listened to Huppenthal's state of education address and realize he's got some major changes in store for our state.

Sound's like he's intent on increasing charter schools, teacher and principal accountability, etc. but what does this all mean for teachers who are in the trenches? Our elem. school has already gone through 3 years of a Reading first grant and it was good in a lot of ways but there were quite a few negatives. A lot of teachers quit because of the tremendous work load added to the job with no increase in pay, and the very worst and laziest teachers are still at the school. They sailed through and are still there with NO accountability!! They leave early, come VERY late and nothing is said or done to rectify the situation. It gets very discouraging for teachers who work hard and do what they are supposed to do. So now we are going to have more work load added?? I just don't get this at all. It doesn't work the way the bureacrats say it will. These lazy, uncaring teachers get paid a lot more than I do. Where the hey is the accountability and fairness here?? My principal loves to throw this phrase out at me, "Fair isn't always equal." Sometimes I want to just whack him. Sorry, but I had to vent. Basically, I want to know how Huppenthal's new policies are going to affect me in the classroom. Does anybody have a picture of what's about to unfold? Thanks.
