From the Minnesota Historical Society:

From July 20–22 at the Oliver Kelley Farm in Elk River, participants will explore content related to 19th-century agricultural and farming history, technological innovations that impacted production and family, and subsistence vs. market economics. Teachers will also learn about and experience historic site interpretation at one of the Society's much-loved historic sites. In period-appropriate clothing, participants will job-shadow historic site employees and engage in historical interpretation themselves. Teachers will return to their classrooms with an instructional video documenting this experience.

"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."

From the University of Missouri-Kansas City website:

"Crossroads of Conflict: Contested Visions of Freedom and the Missouri-Kansas Border Wars is a Landmarks of American History and Culture Workshop for Teachers that explores historic homes and public buildings, townscapes and museum collections in light of recent research to understand the clash of cultures and differing definitions of 'freedom' that played out on the Missouri-Kansas border. Workshop participants will consider the forces and events that led to the abandonment of the understandings reached in the Missouri Compromise, the rejection of popular sovereignty in the Kansas Territory and the establishment of the shadow 'Free State' government. They will examine the nature and intensity of the struggles between the Kansas Jayhawkers and Missouri Bushwhackers and the general mayhem these vicious disputes engendered along the Missouri-Kansas border during Bleeding Kansas and the Civil War.

"The Crossroads of Conflict workshop will give K-12 teachers fresh tools for using historical settings, architecture, material culture, art and drama, along with historical documents and records to enable students to engage the past and gain a better understanding of the forces that shaped and continue to influence national and regional history."

From the Minnesota Humanities Center website:

"How would you like to spend a week discussing your passion for American history with distinguished university professors, traversing Minnesota's historic Iron Range, and planning activities for your students? Would you like to experience the geography, geology, the mines and their contributions to American history, as well as the differing ethnic and immigrant populations in order to bring the learning out of the books and into living history?

"The story of Minnesota's Iron Range is rarely, if ever told. It is absent from general treatments of American history, absent from examinations of industrial America, and absent from studies of the U.S. military build-ups in the first and second World Wars; the Iron Range appears as only a footnote in historical treatments of the American steel industry. The history of the people who came to work these mines is part of the history of Americans; it is the story of immigrants, of conflict and assimilation, of people creating lives for themselves, their families, and for others.

"School teachers, university scholars, and museum curators will explore this story during [this] week-long teacher workshop developed by the Minnesota Humanities Center."

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."
