Based on the premise that secondary and post-secondary educators have much to learn from one another, this conference will foster a community of practice focused on pedagogical strategies. This statewide conference will focus on issues, challenges, and opportunities associated with the introductory US and world history courses that many students will encounter at several stages in their education, whether in middle and high schools, community colleges, or four-year universities. Attendees will participate in workshops, network with colleagues from across the region, and hear from leading history educators, including Bob Bain and Anne Hyde. We invite educators at all levels to join us in discussing our shared interest in student success.

 

The Michigan Conference on Introductory History Courses will be made possible thanks to the generous support from the following sponsors:
