Online Courses
In the summer of 2012, we launched our first online course. Modeled upon our highly praised Teacher Seminars, the course made advanced credentials and summer professional development a reality for teachers unable to spend days or weeks away from home—and those who preferred to study from the comfort and convenience of home, or while on the go.
This year, the program expands to three courses, each with an opportunity for earning graduate credit.
I wish Civil War was taught in Grades K-5 so taking this course would be applicable. I am interested in other on-line courses you might have about Westward Expansion, Immigration, Civil Rights, and the American Revolution.
Thanks for sharing these great resources! The Underground Railroad and Gettysburg Address came up in our classroom discussion today while talking about Abraham Lincoln and slavery.

This was an awesome course. Professor Pinsker is a spell-binding lecturer. I have participated in a number of online courses and this was superior. If you would like to find out more about it, take a look at the course blog - link below - where you can see the syllabus, view handouts and videos from the course, see our posts and lesson plans, and the resource list for teachers. Highly recommended if it is ever offered again.

Will this online course be offered again? I would love to participate.
I would like to participate in this course as well if offered this summer, thank you.
This was a great course and definitely enabled me to develop lessons that bring history alive for my students.
Thanks so much for posting the link. I am going to go through it this summer as if I had been in the course. A structured approach like this, even if I'm just doing it by myself, is a great way to move by content knowledge forward.
