K–12 educators are invited to apply to attend our 2025 Teaching World War II Summer Teacher Workshops with the National World War II Museum.
Classroom teachers, building master teachers, curriculum specialists, administrators, and preservice teachers are welcome! There are both humanities and STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) workshops. Workshop topics include “Fighting for the Right to Fight: African American Experiences in World War II,” “STEM Innovations,” and “The Holocaust.”
By the end of the week, educators will have a better understanding of World War II and the best strategies to use museum resources to teach about the war. Additionally, educators will gain pedagogical tools to not only strengthen their teaching of World War II but also bring history and STEM alive for their students in new ways.
There will be time to explore the museum’s galleries as well as a field trip to support World War II learning. Free time is welcome to be spent exploring New Orleans.
Educators will receive:
- Airfare arranged by the museum;
- Transportation from and to the New Orleans airport;
- Double-occupancy rooming at The Higgins Hotel & Conference Center (across the street from the Museum). If educators would like a single-occupancy room, they may pay for half of the room rate;
- Six breakfasts, five lunches and one dinner;
- Curricula, books and materials; and
- Certificate of completion showing 40 hours of professional development.
Educators who complete the workshop will be required to design and facilitate one professional development session on their own within the 2025–2026 school year. More information will be given to those who are accepted.
