6 hours professional development credit for Arkansas teachers

Free for classroom teachers. Lunch is provided. Lodging is available for participants traveling more than 50 miles. 

When George Washington was sworn in as the first president of the United States, he had no example to follow. Participants will explore how his interpretation of the Constitution set the standard for those who subsequently held the office, including President Clinton.

In conjunction with the opening of the "Making Amends" exhibit, teachers will explore the connections between Washington's biography and the structure of the U.S. government to inspire new content and instructional methods for the classroom.

Sessions will include tours of two new exhibits at the Clinton Library that connect to key roles Washington played in the war and early government, strategy on how to use museum exhibits in the classroom, and a service learning session that highlights the connections between student service requirements and leadership training for civic engagement.
