"Drury University and Wilson's Creek National Battlefield invite you to join us for an extraordinary chance to relive one of the most overlooked—and yet important—battles in the Civil War.
"We will hold these special workshops for schoolteachers on the site where Union and Confederate soldiers confronted one another in the early days of the war. There you will study with six of the foremost Civil War scholars in the nation. You will take part in daily seminars and in guided tours and will engage in stimulating interactions with colleagues from all over the country. On the cornfield where the battle commenced or upon the 'Bloody Hill' where it ended, you will learn about the battle's importance from a wide range of academic perspectives. And you will come away from the experience intellectually refreshed and ready to share your knowledge with your students.
"'Wilson’s Creek: How a Forgotten Battle Saved Missouri and Changed the Course of the Civil War' is designed for full-time and part-time classroom teachers who teach the Civil War in American history, literature, art history, or religion classes in middle school and high school."

"All teachers who complete the institute will receive a letter confirming attendance and describing workshop activities, as well as a certificate of completion. Certificates will include participants’ name and institutional affiliation, as well as a description of coursework performed, field trips taken, and lectures attended. These materials may be used to request Continuing Education Credits (CEUs) or Professional Development Points (PDPs) from home school districts. Workshop participants seeking graduate credit may enroll for three hours of credit from Drury University. (They will be required to follow Drury’s admission procedures for non-degree students and to pay their own tuition and fees.) Teachers who enroll for three hours will be required to complete a sequence of course plans that build upon the work accomplished during the summer seminar."

"During this one-week workshop . . . [participants will] walk the streets that Franklin walked, step through the doorways that he knew, and see the buildings where he helped found the United States. We'll explore the many rooms of Benjamin Franklin's mind: writer, civic leader, politician, diplomat, scientist, and revolutionary were just some of the titles that Franklin assumed during his eighty-four years. We'll read Franklin's words—published and personal—and those of men and women who lived in the era."
