The Emily Dickinson Museum has received a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to host a Landmarks of American History and Culture Workshop for Schoolteachers in July 2011.
Landmarks Workshops provide K-12 educators from across the United States the opportunity to engage in intensive study and discussion of important topics in American history. The one-week academies give participants direct experiences in the interpretation of significant historical sites and the use of archival and other primary evidence.
The Emily Dickinson Museum’s workshop, "Emily Dickinson: Person, Poetry, and Place," will be offered twice, July 10-15 and July 17-22. Participants will attend lectures, participate in hands-on activities, tour the Museum and other local sites related to Emily Dickinson, and develop curriculum ideas for their classrooms back home.
