July 2-6, 2008, Westerville, OH

In conjunction with Ohio Chautauqua, the Ohio Humanities Council in partnership with The Ohio State University’s Department of History is offering an intensive, five-day Summer Institute for educators. The Institute is designed for humanities educators in grades K-12 and will offer a multidisciplinary approach for understanding inventors and innovators in the larger context of American history.

In addition to attending the evening performances under the Chautauqua tent, participants of the Summer Institute will attend workshops given by the Chautauqua scholars/performers, attend seminars lead by The Ohio State University faculty, receive materials to use in the classroom, learn how to incorporate primary sources in lessons, and create lesson plans based on content and principles acquired at the Institute.

Participants receive a $500 stipend, CEUs, and daily meals. Stipends may be used to purchase 2 hours of graduate credit from The Ohio State University.

Space is limited to 20 educators; please apply by April 30, 2008. Application form is available at http://www.ohiohumanities.org/chaut/index.htm.
