The National Humanities Center will be hosting a hands-on training in the use of GIS technology in the middle and secondary classroom. Mapping the American Experience is a collaboration between the National Humanities Center and central North Carolina school districts to create professional development training for educators on the use of GIS technology in K-12 teaching and scholarship. Session 2 (October 17–18, 2016) will assemble 12 education leaders and influencers, including NHC education staff, current NHC Fellows and alumni, as well as other instructors, professors, and education influencers at community colleges and universities. As humanists, these participants might have research goals that can be advanced with geospatial tools in addition to exploring new teaching approaches for their post-secondary classroom. “These grant-funded training sessions will provide select teachers and influencers with the opportunity to immerse themselves in the concepts of geoliteracy and explore new approaches to interdisciplinary projects in their classrooms.” Participants will receive a $100 stipend and CEU credits for completion of this two-day institute. All sessions will be hosted at the National Humanities Center, located in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. Visit http://nationalhumanitiescenter.org/mapping-american-experience/. Applications are due for Session 2 by Monday, September 19, 2016 at 5pm EST. Successful candidates will be notified by Friday, September 23, 2016.
