Institute Details

Through this program, world history educators from a variety of environments will engage in a collaborative effort with university faculty and scholars to begin assembling a free digital source collection that will be hosted on the AHA’s website as a permanent resource for world history teachers throughout the United States. In addition, teacher-participants will develop lesson plans and assignments built around this collaborative sourcebook and focus on integrating African perspectives in a way that aligns with the needs of educators and students in busy classrooms.

Educators who teach world history—often divided into one- or two-year sequences between grades 6 and 10—as well as related courses, including but not limited to AP world history, comparative government, African American studies, world geography, and world cultures should apply.
