From the Colonial Williamsburg website:

"Designed for middle/high school social studies teachers who teach United States history and government, these intensive week-long workshops will immerse participants in early American history 'on location' in Williamsburg, the restored capital city of eighteenth-century Virginia, and nearby Jamestown and Yorktown. Twenty-five teachers and a returning mentor teacher will be selected for each session.

Participants will be involved in an interdisciplinary approach to teaching social studies with colonial American history as the focus. Teachers will have the opportunity to exchange ideas with noted historians, meet character interpreters, and take part in reenactments of eighteenth-century events. They will review various interactive teaching techniques with a mentor teacher and with each other. Instructional materials in a variety of media will be provided to participants to use in their classrooms. Together with Colonial Williamsburg staff, teachers will prepare new instructional materials for use in their own classrooms."

From the Henry Ford:

"How would you like to spend mornings discussing your passion for American history with distinguished university professors, mid-days on field trips to more than a dozen historic farms, mills and laboratories, and the afternoons planning activities for your students? Would you like to develop methods of using all five of your senses and your students' different learning styles to bring America's Industrial Revolution out of the books and into living history?

The story of America's Industrial Revolution is an epic tale, full of heroes and heroines, villains and vagabonds, accomplishments and failures, sweated toil and elegant mechanisms, grand visions and unintended consequences. How did the United States evolve from a group of 18th century agricultural colonies clustered along the eastern seaboard into the world's greatest industrial power? Why did this nation become the seedbed of so many important 19th century inventions and the birthplace of assembly-line mass production in the early 20th century? Who contributed? Who benefited? Who was left behind?

School teachers, university scholars and museum curators will explore this story during [this week-long workshop]."

From the Chicago Architecture Foundation:

"The skyscraper, more than any other building type, gives American cities their distinctive character. During this week-long workshop, participants will investigate the American skyscraper as a physical and cultural construct. Scholars will present skyscrapers as artifacts and symbols of transformations in American life. Walking tours of the Loop to explore some of Chicago's most spectacular examples of tall buildings, coupled with hands-on activities, will help bring this iconic building type to life. The workshop will help you create engaging lessons across the K-12 curriculum including social sciences and history, language arts, science, mathematics, and fine and visual arts."
