In the high school "Teaching the Tough TEKS" course, the Law-Related Education team identified TEKS that are challenging to American History students, and created this two-day workshop to address those areas. This institute is designed to target low-performing high school U.S. History TEKS and to complement existing curriculum. Working with scholars and consultants, participants will learn and receive valuable content, methods, and resources. Content presentations are reinforced with practical activities that will be made available to participants free of charge. Registration is free and lunch will be provided on both days.
