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.

...See MoreI see there have been many posts suggesting the Annotated Mona Lisa to prepare for the Praxis 2, has anyone used the "Outlines & Highlights for Annotated Mona Lisa"? I tend to get a little lost and overwhelmed in study guides, and last time I took the Praxis was really rough...so, if I can make this time my last, that would be SWEET :)

Love to see ND, Purdue, INState and Butler to continue to represent our state well in the tournament. There are a lot of our former students playing. (and good students at that)
Sorry for the long back story, but I was wondering if anyone had any advice on any jobs related to teaching I could look into. I have been looking at libraries, charter schools, but I'm not sure if I am missing another market that could help me utilize my skills.

I know Oak Farm in Avilla is offering elementary training this summer and I think there is training going on in Indy for elementary also. This kind of "teaching" is very different in style from what our university education training is like, but boy, is it a worthwhile and honorable experience. Depending on the area that the Montessori school is at, will determine what salary and benefits the school can offer. However, as a Montessori teacher, you will not only be respected by the school but the PARENTS, too! You can't go wrong> Good luck!
So i have been trying to figure out what I need to do next. I am a military wife and have gotten a bachelors degree in social science with an education concentration but we are moving to Indiana. What do i do next with obtaining my teaching license in Indiana. Any suggestions? Thank you!!!
I love the Professional Learning Systems (PLS) workshops. If you haven't taken one, they are so energizing and really good presenters. Quick and helpful.
I'm currently in the United States with the intention of contact with teachers who could be interested in making an educational project for the next academic course 2011-2012, so that science students from Malaga and USA could make a collaborative work and establish a rewarding relationship, using the new technologies.
I´ve already done a science project to enable our students to meet students from another country, while working together and improve their science skills.
If you are interested, I could sent you the project and we could change it, since it´s a flexible project.
I´d like to have the opportunity, also, to visit some schools in Usa to learn about the U.S. educational system, the methodologies used, the available resources ... Would appreciate someone gives me the opportunity to make a visit to your school.
