QUARTERLY WORKSHOPS FOR TEACHERS

Planning Your Day at Gettysburg

 

Need advice on planning for your class trip to Gettysburg? Or how about some ideas on how to approach the vast subject of the Gettysburg story with your students? 

 

To get you started with the advice and information you need, attend one or all three of our Quarterly Workshops for Teachers. You’ll get a jump start to your field trip planning, preview a range of ideas to bring to the classroom and on a field trip, and options to meet the grade level, time frame and size of your group. These four hour-long workshops will be offered three times during the 2009-2010 school year.
