History Experiences for Educators
Making Freedom offers seminars, book discussions, summer institutes, and instructional technology workshops in the teaching of U.S. History to Bedford, Burlington, Lexington, Woburn, Somerville, and Minuteman Career & Technical High School educators. This Teaching American History office is funded by the U.S. Department of Education through a grant awarded to Burlington Public Schools.
Programs connect teachers with leading scholars, authors, professional archivists, museum curators, and National Historical Park rangers, as well as with each other, developing a community of committed, innovative history educators in the local area.
