Best Practices in History Education Conference

MOCHE is pleased to announce that our featured speaker for this year will be Gary Kremer, executive director of the Missouri State Historical Society.
We invite you to submit a breakout session proposal. Sessions may feature episodes in American or World History and themes such as Teaching Literacy in the History Classroom and. Considering that 2011 marked the beginning of the Sesquicentennial of the Civil War, we will also offer a strand of sessions on the Civil War, particularly the Civil War in Missouri. We seek sessions on technology use in the classroom, History Day, curriculum issues facing social studies teachers, and other interesting topics in World and American history. Proposals may include panels, roundtables, and/or workshops sixty minutes in length. All proposals will be judged on the likelihood of improving history instruction in our schools.
