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].
Niagara University is located 11 miles south of Old Fort Niagara.
Niagara University Founded by the Vincentian Community in 1856, Niagara University is a private liberal arts university with a strong, values-based Catholic tradition. Its four academic divisions include the colleges of Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, Education, and Hospitality and Tourism Management. The university also maintains an Academic Exploration Program that provides a learning community for students who are undecided about their major, as well as numerous opportunities through Continuing Education. -30-
I am an elementary school teacher with five years experience. I currently work in a Title I school in Palm Beach County Florida but am moving back to CT this summer to be closer to family. Any advice on how to get a CT teaching job coming from out of state would be appreciated. I already have my CT teaching certificate (provisional).

We invite you to join us for our one-week workshops in June 2011. As NEH Summer Scholars at the “American History through the Eyes of a California Family” workshop, you will use the artifacts and archival sources of both the Dominguez Rancho Adobe Museum and CSU Dominguez Hills Special Collections to trace the Dominguez family history for over two centuries. Their history and lands are entwined with California 's rich Indian, Spanish, Mexican and American history.
NEH workshops feature well known scholars, hands-on work with artifacts and archival documents, workshops and experiential learning opportunities that will bring history to life, and field trips to deepen historical and cultural connections. 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 travel, lodging, and meal 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. Continuing Education Units offered. Applications due March 1st.

And that doesn't include after school programs or professional development. I'm a pretty effective at multitasking but this year I can barely keep up.
Is it just me or are other people feeling this way? My energies are being sucked away from just teaching kids.
Hi, Is there a way to get a cross endorsement in TESOL w/o going to a major university? Does CT accept any of the online/seminar programs such as Oxford Seminars? Who has that kind of money lying around to go back to a university?
I just got a new student in my class (I teach 4th grade in North Carolina) we just took a benchmark test and I noticed that she did not appear to have any experience bubbling in an answer sheet. When I asked her about she told me that she didn't bubble in when in CT but just placed her answers in the booklet. How do third graders take this test?
