Teacher Institutes
What: The first in a series of collaborative
institutes between
Learning
Page and Exhibitions.
Where: The Learning Center, James Madison Building
101 Independence Ave. SE, Washington, DC 20540
When:
October 8, 2003
November 1, 2003
9:00 am - 4:00 pm
Audience: 25 educators from around the country
Purpose: Provide educators with an opportunity
to engage in discovery
learning and to develop strategies to teach about America's century
of exploration. The Institute features the expedition of the Corps
of
Discovery's quest to connect North America by means of a waterway
passage, as well other important expeditions including those lead
by
Zebulon Pike, Stephen Long, Charles Wilkes, and John Frémont
and
concludes with the construction of the transcontinental railroad,
which closed the door on the quest for a direct water passage to
connect the East with the West.
The Library of Congress exhibition Rivers, Edens, Empires: Lewis
& Clark and the Revealing of America, opened in late July 2003,
supported by content from the American Memory collections and The
Learning Page is the focal point of the educators' institute.
