Research shows professional development increases student success

Our high quality, interactive inquiry-based curricula can be accessed through workshops, online courses, institutes, or job embedded mentoring. We offer regional events, online courses, a national Leadership Academy, and professional development videos.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND SUPPORT FOR EDUCATORS

Delivery of educational materials through professional development workshops, peer mentoring, and online courses ensures that the materials will be used effectively.

Continuing support ensures that educators will continue to use Project Archaeology effectively in the classroom and gives them innovative new ways to teach archaeology. Forms of continuing professional support employed by Project Archaeology state and national programs include:

  • New grade-level and regionally appropriate curricular materials
  • Alignment of all materials to current educational standards
  • Advanced professional development via conferences and institutes
  • Newsletters and current information on archaeology education
  • Information disseminated via Blog and Facebook

LEADERSHIP ACADEMY

Project Archaeology is offering a select few the opportunity to take the lead in helping to protect our cultural heritage. Social Studies and Science teachers are encouraged to apply for this unique opportunity which will teach them Project Archaeology’s acclaimed Investigating Shelter, an inquiry-based Social Studies and Science curriculum, and empower them with educating their peers on how to implement the curriculum in the classroom.

Join us for an exciting trip back in time to investigate archaeology! You will use this virtual workshop to practice the basics of scientific inquiry (observation, inference, evidence, and classification) using authentic archaeological data. This is absolutely a ‘must-do’ course that will not only enhance your own understanding of archaeology, but also provide you with a comprehensive set of lessons that you can use right in your own classroom!
