National History Day
The grant provides services from the
Minnesota Historical Society (MHS) to support the involvement of
southern Minnesota schools in National History Day. Full-day teacher
training sessions will be conducted each year in southeast and southwest
Minnesota to prepare teachers with strategies to facilitate students’
History Day projects. MHS staff will also provide continued assistance
to teachers in each region to support History Day implementation in
their classrooms throughout the school year.
