The Problem
How does teacher education provided by historic sites affect teachers’ professional growth?
No one knows… (yet).
Little evidence-based research exists about what content, skills, or practices teachers acquire or improve upon in programs offered by historic sites.
Find out about our most recent progress.
Institutions spend significant funding annually to provide teacher education.
There is little consensus about how to evaluate teacher learning at historic sites.
Much of the existing research offers site/program-specific-evaluations rather than systematic investigations from which few meaningful recommendations can be extrapolated to inform practice at other sites.
