The Ashbrook Center is offering a series of summer institutes that will assist teachers in deepening and broadening both their understanding and appreciation of American history. The focus of the institutes will be the substantive study of American history. The discussions will revolve around original historical documents and their use in the classroom.
These institutes are offered at no charge, and each teacher will receive a $500 stipend for participating. All meals and housing at Ashland University will be provided.
Each institute will be a rigorous, six-day, graduate-level program that begins on a Sunday afternoon and concludes on a Friday afternoon. Because of the intensive nature of the program, students should make no other plans during the institute. Books will be mailed four-to-six weeks before the institute. Teachers are expected to print syllabi and course packets prior to arriving as well as prepare for and fully take part in the discussions during the week.
Students in the summer institutes will be participating as audit students in courses that are a part of Ashland University's Master of American History and Government degree program. The courses will be held on the campus of Ashland University in Ashland, Ohio.
Graduate Credit: Teachers may choose to receive two hours of Master's degree credit from Ashland University. This credit can be used toward the new Master of American History and Government offered by Ashland University or may be transferred to another institution. The two credits will cost $440. Registration information will be sent prior to the Institute.
To Apply: Fill out the on-line application. You must complete the entire application to be considered. Applications are due by March 1, 2009. Selection will be made by March 15, 2009. Because space will be limited, you are encouraged to apply early. Each accepted applicant will be asked to submit a $100 check deposit after being accepted in April to reserve a place in the institute. Participants will be refunded their deposit along with their stipend at the end of the week.
