Knowledgeable, enthusiastic teachers are a wise investment in Oklahoma’s youth. OHC will soon launch summer institutes that will increase the confidence, professionalism, and subject knowledge of K-12 educators. Institutes will provide content-rich, professional development centered on specific humanities themes.

Participants will have the opportunity to network with peers and engage with distinguished university professors and other humanities professionals in an intensive exploration of curriculum-relevant topics. When teachers implement their innovative learning experiences and newfound perspectives in the classroom, students will benefit for years to come.

OHC’s first Teacher Institute will focus on Oklahoma’s Native American cultures to expand student awareness of our state’s American Indian heritage.

Watch the website for information on this pilot project in March 2008.
