These two conferences are specifically designed for New Jersey teachers to help them learn how to use art and material culture (objects produced by human beings) to teach American history and the humanities. Participation at each conference is limited to 50 middle and high school teachers of history, social studies, English- language arts, visual arts, and the humanities.

  All applicants must be currently teaching in the classroom, and either applicant or school must be a recipient of the NEH’s Picturing America teaching resource. Application forms may be downloaded at http://www.newarkmuseum.org/NEHConferences.html and must be submitted by mail to the Museum no later than September 23, 2011.
