Lead Teachers participate in a series of school-year workshops and
annual summer institutes focusing on American history content taught at
the middle school level. Following the institutes, Lead Teachers
disseminate history content and instructional resources to consortium
districts, middle schools throughout the region, and a national audience
through the project website.
