BHP 2018 Summer Convenings

BHP Team

Grab your calendar! Big History Project teachers are meeting in select locations across the United States, and we hope you can join! (You can RSVP here.)

This summer, convenings will be split into two parts: information sessions and Professional Learning Community (PLC) meetings. You’re welcome to attend one or both parts! Here’s what you can expect at each:

• Part 1: Info Sessions—Just getting your feet wet? Let’s chat about course content and instructional approach. We’ll get hands-on with core activities and help you decide whether the course is a good fit for your school. Appropriate for teachers and administrators alike!
• Part 2: PLC Meetings—Teaching BHP next year? Let’s get planning! This part is more appropriate for folks who will be teaching the full course in 2018/19. It’ll be highly collaborative and focused on sharing instructional best practices. Appropriate for first-year and veteran year BHP-ers alike!

There’s limited capacity at each session– please RSVP as soon as you can, and a BHP team member will reach out with more information. (PS – we’re including the full list of where we’ll be, as we know folks often travel during summer months!)
