EDUCATION PROGRAMS
Through the Division of Education Programs, NEH provides national support for faculty development and teaching resources in the humanities. The division’s programs address needs at all grade levels, from elementary through graduate, and help teachers bring the finest humanities instruction into the classroom. In 2002, 128 awards went to eighty-nine institutions in thirty-nine states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.
Exemplary Education Project grants support the development of teaching materials and programs in the humanities. One project at North Carolina Central University is using the life and work of the free, black master craftsman Thomas Day as the focal point for understanding the antebellum African-American experience. Teachers study historical and literary texts online and have online discussions prior to an intensive workshop that includes lectures by leading scholars, field trips to historical sites, and sessions led by master teachers. Another grant recipient, Shakespeare and Company, located in Lenox, Massachusetts, is creating a multimedia guide for the study of Macbeth in print, video, and digital format. Scholars, teachers, and theater directors collaborate through online conferences and a series of two-week summer workshops to develop the guide for studying and performing Shakespeare’s play.

Humanities Focus Grants bring together teachers at the same or neighboring institutions to improve teaching and learning. Faculty members from Saginaw Valley State University in Michigan are holding a two-week summer workshop on the United States Civil War for local secondary school teachers. In Olathe, Kansas, the school district received NEH funding to develop an East Asian studies course for high school students throughout the district, with faculty members from the University of Kansas mentoring the high school teachers in the project.
In Schools for a New Millennium programs, elementary and secondary school teachers engage in the sustained study of a humanities subject while using technology to enrich their teaching. Grinnell-Newburg Community School District, in collaboration with Grinnell College in Iowa, is creating new courses that focus on the biographies of famous Americans, the history of the American prairie, and the promotion of individual student research. At the Acaciawood College Preparatory Academy in Anaheim, California, students are documenting and archiving the oral histories of Holocaust survivors, Japanese-American internees, and World War II home front workers in order to create a digital archive and website.
Seminars and institutes support faculty development for teachers each summer at colleges, universities, libraries, and research centers. A grant to Minot State University in North Dakota supports a four-week institute for twenty-eight schoolteachers to study topics surrounding the Lewis and Clark expedition. These topics include European exploration of the Americas, Thomas Jefferson’s scientific and political vision, and the Native American cultures that Lewis and Clark encountered. Participants attend lectures by scholars, visit sites relevant to the expedition, and develop curricula for their classrooms. At the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, fifteen college and university teachers compare the approach of American constitutional law with developments in other advanced democracies. A number of schoolteachers who participate in seminars and institutes subsequently apply for Humanities Teacher Leadership awards to share the results of their work with other teachers. Twenty-one teachers received awards to fund projects that include workshops on teaching medieval architecture, on teaching myth and folktale, and on performance-based approaches to teaching Shakespeare. In 2002, the Endowment gave two awards for after-school programs in the humanities. One project helps Chicago children ages eight through fourteen explore the history of their city; another helps middle school children in Ohio learn about the history of the Underground Railroad in their state.
In collaboration with the National Trust for the Humanities and the Marco Polo Education Foundation, the NEH sponsors EDSITEment (edsitement.neh.gov), an online resource for humanities educators. EDSITEment comprises 130 humanities websites, selected by review panels from several hundred nominations for their humanities content, interactive design, and usefulness in the classroom. EDSITEment has received national recognition, including an education award in the Smithsonian Computerworld competition. The site logs an average of 130,000 user sessions a month and provides nearly two hundred lesson plans for kindergarten through grade twelve, with interactive components for students. In addition, EDSITEment showcases historical events, current topics, and funding opportunities of interest to educators and their students.
