The Library of Congress is seeking applications from current world history or world geography teachers for a Teacher-in-Residence position within its Educational Outreach division during the 2017-18 school year.
The program description and application details for the position can be found herloc.gov/teachers/newsevents/teacher-in-residence/e. Applications are due Monday, April 17.
The Educational Outreach division develops and delivers teaching materials and programs to make the Library’s collections of primary sources visible, accessible and easy for K-12 teachers to integrate into the classroom.
The Library of Congress Teacher-in-Residence program is designed to give the selected educator a unique professional development experience—a year at the Library in Washington, D.C., working side-by-side with staff, contributing to K-12 education programs and materials, advising on outreach to teachers and helping to uncover and make visible primary sources in the Library's collections.
The Teacher-in-Residence program has been in place since 2000, but this is the first year the Library has specifically recruited a world history or world geography teacher.
In addition to assisting Library of Congress staff, the teacher-in-residence will undertake a project using Library primary sources to benefit his or her home school, district or institution, to be implemented during the following academic year. This project could be a workshop on teaching with primary sources for fellow teachers, a district-wide social media campaign to promote teaching with the Library's primary sources, the design of a new collaborative curriculum unit, or some other product or activity.

Monterey County students and teachers: learn about the Normandy invasion in D.C. and France. Free
It's trip to Washington D.C. and Normandy, France, to study World War II and D-Day. It's for only 15 teams of one student and teacher, so get your applications in soon!
National History Day is now accepting applications for the 2017 Normandy: Sacrifice for Freedom Albert H. Small Student and Teacher Institute. The program accepts only 15 student and teacher pairs for an immersion program in Washington, D.C. and on the beaches of Normandy, France. The institute covers nearly all expenses for accepted students and teachers including travel, visits to historic sites, and lodging in both Europe and Washington, D.C.
The institute teaches students about the sacrifices and challenges faced by U.S. service members during and after the D-Day landings. Each student selects a single service member, called a Silent Hero, from his or her home state or territory who died in the line of duty.
Students spend months researching their Silent Heroes under the guidance of their teachers. In June 2017, all 15 teams travel to Washington, D.C. Their first event is a welcome dinner with the White House Historical Association. Then, historians and archivists guide the students and teachers through primary source material from World War II at the National Archives. Guest historians and speakers teach them about the importance of D-Day and Operation Overlord to the outcome of the war. Finally, teams journey to Normandy, France to walk in the footsteps of their Silent Hero and learn about D-Day where it happened. On the final day, students read graveside eulogies to their Silent Heroes at the Normandy American Cemetery.
Applications for this program are due by November 28, 2016 at 11:59 p.m. ET. All participants must apply as one team and must be available to travel June 17-29, 2017. Students must be either a sophomore or junior in high school as of fall 2016. All applications must be fully completed and submitted as a single PDF document. The application, and more information, can be found online here.

Moss Landing Marine Lab professor Erika McPhee-Shaw earns Stanford fellowship
Erika McPhee-Shaw, San Jose State University Associate Professor at Moss Landing Marine Laboratories, has been selected as one of 20 recipients of the next generation of Leopold Leadership fellows. The fellowship was created to provide successful midcareer scientists in Canada, Mexico, and the United States with tools to communicate their science beyond the scientific community more effectively.
McPhee-Shaw is the chair of the Central and Northern California Ocean Observing System and a member of Center for Ocean Solution’s coastal hypoxia working group. She's interested in presenting complex oceanographic and environmental issues to policymakers, resource managers and legislators. Her specific plans are to use this fellowship to contribute to a greater understanding of nitrate pollution, ocean acidification, and the ocean’s role in storms and forecasting weather and climate.
The Leopold Leadership Program, named for famed early environmentalist Aldo Leopold, is administered by Stanford’s Woods Institute for the Environment.
Moss Landing Marine Laboratories is the graduate program in marine science for California State Universities East Bay, Fresno, Monterey Bay, Sacramento, San Francisco, San Jose and Stanislaus.
