NCSS Pre-Conference Clinic
The Remedial Herstory Project is hosting its fifth annual Teachers' Institute in partnership with NCSS to tell women's stories and help teachers integrate more women's history and literature into their curriculum. Preservice teachers, classroom teachers, administrators, and professors in teacher preparation are welcome; there is something for everyone. The one-day institute will feature speakers from around the world and provide educators with dozens of packaged lesson plans, videos, swag, and resources to get women into every unit of their curriculum.
You can register for both NCSS and the RHP clinic at NCSS' website. If you ONLY want to attend the RHP Institute, register below.
