Rural CIG Meeting at the Library of Congress, June 24-26
The first meeting of the Rural Education Consortium Interest Group took place at the University of Oklahoma in Norman, OK, in summer 2022. The cohort of rural teachers doing local history projects with their students has grown and changed a bit since then. They reconvened this summer to share their work, hear from engaging scholars, and visit the Library of Congress in person!

WE GOT THE GRANT!

Stage 2: Regional PD Workshop/1 Credit Course: In February 2025, there will be a regional workshop for teachers across the Pioneer Valley to explore local history, available primary sources, and create classroom experiences for their students.
