PACETAH

This school year has been a busy one.  Teachers have gained lots of insight about many different things!  Our first excursion was back to Washington D.C. for the annual conference for the National Council for Social Studies.  Our contingent of 10, including Dr. George Mann of WTAMU, managed to see almost everything worth seeing in the nation’s capital.  Before we complete this TAH grant, we will be experts in mass transit systems!

In January, some of our group was able to dodge one of our snow/ice storms when they went to Huntsville to attend the 2nd annual Texas History conference.  Not only did they hear outstanding speakers, but were able to visit our first capital and see other historic sites.

February brought the annual trip to the Law Related Education conference in Austin.  I hear the speakers and break-out sessions were up to the usually high standards for the Texas State Bar.

In March, we have to take a break, but in April a small group will be able to attend the National Council for History Educators conference in Williamsburg, VA.  I look forward to hearing from all of you about the things you learned and saw on each of these trips.
