| This web site contains a photographic record of the lectures,
events, and people involved in the first Arkansas History Institute.
In addition to the events chronicled, teaching resource materials
provided to Institute participants are also reproduced. Where
feasible, these resources have been enhanced by hyperlinking them
to additional resources. The hope is that in addition to being
a "piece of history", this site will continue to provide
resources for Arkansas' history teachers. |

Goals
The forty teachers attending the Institute
will receive an intensive two weeks of instruction. Leading Arkansas history
teachers from colleges around the state are being brought to the University
of Arkansas campus to give lectures, and the teacher consultants who helped
plan the institute will assist the teacher students in developing individual
lesson plans that they can take back to the classroom.
Participant
Materials
Books (note: all are linked to publishers website.
Most are University
of Arkansas Press titles)
Newspapers (Arkansas
Gazette and Northwest
Arkansas Times) will be delivered free to each participant every
morning.
Teacher Consultants
The teacher consultants will be available at
all times (arrival, meal times, during field trips, etc.) The teacher consultants
are those individuals who have participated in fashioning this workshop and
in creating the Resource Guide.
Teacher Lessons
The consulting teachers will present lessons
to the participants during the Institute. Some lessons will be aimed at the
middle and high school teachers, but elementary teacher consultants will add
remarks for how they might be implemented in elementary schools. Other lessons
will be aimed at the elementary school teachers but high school and middle school
teacher consultants will add remarks for how they might be implemented in high
schools and elementary schools.
