ONLINE RESOURCES FOR EDUCATION
The Midway Institute’s staff has compiled a selection of resources derived from our past seminars and from the ongoing work of Institute faculty and participating teachers. This is a dynamic collection of resources.

TEACHING AMERICAN HISTORY
The Midway Institute for Teachers and Teaching American History (TAH.org) cooperate to present a seminar series on Essential Documents of American Freedom. Seminars are offered several times during the school year for teachers of American History, Government, Civics, or any teacher who uses American primary source documents. These free seminars are each based on an original source and are conducted as Socratic discussion will be provided for all participants attending, and some dates will include a short virtual guided tour of some part of the ship.
