New Frontiers in History Education
In collaboration with the Illinois Council of History Educators, IMSA is proud to offer a special History program.
The opening Welcome session will be followed by four concurrent sessions from which teachers from 6th grade through high school may choose.
A special Luncheon Presentation will be given by Dr. Ann Durkin Keating, who will bring Chicago history to life as she discusses her latest book “Rising up from Indian Country: The Battle of Fort Dearborn and the Birth of Chicago,” which was released last August.
Flash drives containing digital copies of all available session materials will be given to participants upon completion and submission of their evaluations of the program at the end of the day. The full schedule with presenters, descriptions, and room locations can be found through the following links.
