Symposium for Teachers with UW – Eau Claire: Civil War Era, Reconstruction, and the Constitution
The Menard Center for Constitutional Studies at the University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire is hosting a symposium for middle and high school teachers in partnership with the Jack Miller Center.
This year’s symposium will focus on the Civil War, Reconstruction, and the political and constitutional ramifications of this transformative period, placing particular emphasis on primary source analysis and the enduring significance of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments.
Scholar sessions will be led by faculty from UW-Eau Claire’s Political Science and Criminal Justice Department. JMC Teacher Programs Manager Emilee McHorney will lead a classroom application workshop on incorporating the primary sources discussed into teachers’ own classrooms and lessons.
The program will take place at the Metropolis Resort and Conference Center in Eau Claire. Meals and resort lodging will be provided. Participants will receive a $300 stipend for completion of the program.
